What? I was at the post office today and went to take a picture of my tracking number. The man behind the counter wouldn't let Me. So instead I typed it in to my phone. But seriously. What? I can't take a picture? Can anyone please share some thoughts on this? Doesn't that seem a little...hinky? Violation of some kind of free information?
Is there anything that's too petty for a right winger to whine about?
Did you hit send when you typed the tracking number into your phone? I suspect the federal employee was concerned with the possibility of a cell phone detonating a bomb on the premises.What?

How was he planning to stop you? Just tell them to **** off and take the picture anyways

Armed security because the federal government and their rules are more important than my life. At least that is what the left believes.

Maybe I haven't been going into the right post offices but the ones I have been in don't have armed gaurds.
It is a very legitimate question. The only thing petty was your response.
You're probably sick of the TSA causing a slowdown at check in of you local favorite airport for the same reason. The country is under attack.Must have been. He was an old guy with a ponytail and a union member. So he probably was paranoid that something I did would compromise his pension. God I'm sick of big government. Just as sick as I am of large corporations.

Are you concerned that our country is under attack?Airports? No. Legitimate concern.
A cell phone picture of my tracking number? Illegitimate.
Hell.
A photo of the public area of a post office with high foot traffic on a regular basis? Illegitimate.

I'm guessing it might be seen as a security issue.
Dept. of Homeland Security rule I'm guessing.
As far as the cons here complaining about their 'freedoms'. Stop defending the Patriot Act, Homeland security, the NSA, etc. Then people might pay attention to you complaints about 'freedoms' and rights. You guys brought this kind of stuff on yourself.

I can tell you the reasoning behind it. The more photographs of the inside of a federal building that are floating around out there the easier it is for a terrorist to plan an attack. Justified or not, that is the reasoning.

Except as prohibited by official signs or the directions of security force personnel or other authorized personnel, or a Federal court order or rule, photographs for news purposes may be taken in entrances, lobbies, foyers, corridors, or auditoriums when used for public meetings. Other photographs may be taken only with the permission of the local postmaster or installation head.
Which is silly. We are talking about an era when every cell phone had a camera. You can google the pictures. We are talking about an area that is impossible to defend for 1 reason: there are many.
Fear is not a good reason to restrict people's freedom to live their lives.
