News Flash: Ashcroft's been fired.
If politicians are devious scum, and they represent you . . . I mean to say, I like my representatives and I work to keep those good ones in office, and to replace those who aren't in my best interest.
As for photographing in public, anyone who cannot take the time or find the resources to read the Constitution of the U. S. and find in the last seven words of Article three the answer to his interesting debate deserves the fate of frustration, political domination.
For those on this list who do not have the benefit of our Constitution of this country, I hope you can derrive some sort of inspiration for a picture.

unfortunately it will be illegal to photograph on public transportation shortly. As if that would stop a terrorist.

Politicians are amongst the most devious scum on the earth. It's not that they are evil, they cannot help themselves.
As you have recognised, restrictions to your freedom will only serve to restrict your freedom and do nothing to curb the activities of those who don't play by the rules anyway. Covert cameras are all but undetectable these days and give perfectly good photos for those "up to no good". You don't need a Leach to pin-point where to plant a bomb :(
The fact is that fear is a very effective weapon. Those that wield it most effectively are not always the terrorists. Once those freedoms are surrendered you will never get them back. Why do they really want to stop you using cameras on public transport? Because they think they can get away with it? Next, it will be a broader restriction, next you will not be able to photograph public figures - and the press will be less able to expose their scams. Getting warmer?
Today the subway, tomorrow the street.
