Security (Real or Perceived) Issues Relative To Recording In Today's

["Scott" viaeanguli]

Forum Members,

This is posted not by a Newbie but rather by a Wannabe.  As I weigh my 
phonographic interests versus the involved finances to support the 
hobby I also give though to several question.

In particular, society's nervous, edgy nature relative to national 
security issues leads me to ask about recording in public areas. Do you 
experience strangers questioning your activities, motives, etc.?  Has  
harassment ever been a problem?  Has law enforcement personnel ever 
questioned or inhibited your recording activities?

Perhaps the wannabe concerns are unwarranted but the question does 
enter my mind as I consider purchasing recording equipment.

Thanks for your reply,

Scott
