The guy at MO didn't have a P&S - he had a DSLR with what looks like a 55-200mm lens and was in the front. That's just asking for trouble.

There are signs everywhere saying cameras with removable lenses are not allowed. I really think it's awful, from a fan standpint, that he had to leave but it's really his fault. He was lucky to get it in earlier in the day and not get the boot then.

I had a P&S also - but one that has a lens that sticks out; i.e., not a typical deck-of-cards-shaped camera with a tiny lens. I had two security come up to me on the rail and make comments and I had to show them the lens was fixed and despite being larger than other people's cameras, it was actually a small 7-year-old model.

BTW I have been told TWICE by NIN (not venue) personnel to stop using that very camera - Atlanta City and Rapid City 2008. They make the rules - like it or go fuck yourself.
