TSA Expands CA Train Stations & Bus Terminals

"The clip shows TSA inspectors standing with police and drug-sniffing dogs. The TSA agents told the film maker that he was still allowed to take video and photos at the train station but may get “questioned” for doing so." - Infowars

CBS local stations reporting; Infowars; YouTube; CNN; and many others. Be sure you know your rights.

Just something to think about.

Photo Projects CAN be unusual and meaningful....

Doomed shelter dogs..."Taiwanese photographer Tou Chih-kang hangs his portraits of the final moments in the lives of shelter dogs for a public exhibition in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan. Tou has been visiting dog shelters for two years now, making human-like portraits that give a sense of dignity and esteem to some 400 canines, in hopes of educating the public on the proper care of pets. This year Taiwanese authorities will kill an estimated 80,000 stray dogs at 38 pounds scattered throughout the island." - ArtDaily.org

ArtDaily.org always seems to have some fascinating projects for photography as well as what is happening in the art world. It is a great site for a daily review.
