Colbert Report nails a train photographer

I know this is funny (hilarious), but also brings up an important point on us loosing freedoms through ignorance of rights. Blame it on 9/11 all day long. In the cold war era, did we really have to worry about someone with a camera and a tripod taking pictures in the open? No, it was super secret shoe cameras or hidden pen cameras or something. Now it seems that everybody has the right to call you a suspect if you have big gear. In all actuality it is the most ridiculous idea ever. Do you seriously think a terrorist is going to bring attention to himself with anything bigger than a D90 kit or something even smaller? 
If we are not careful, these rights we have are slowly going to be taken away. It is important to know what they are.
