What you can't see is what you don't get

Several weeks back I stood at a window in a concourse at Philadelphia's airport with several other passengers, taking pictures of an amazing sunrise. A few minutes ago here at SFO I walked over to a window at a concourse here to shoot pictures of an equally nice sunrise, and was told by a United worker to put the camera away. Pictures aren't allowed. I asked why. "Those are the rules. Pictures aren't allowed."

As I recall several United uniformed folks in Philly also admired the sunrise then underway — and even engaged me in conversation about my camera, choice of lens and stuff like that. Guess they're just a little less rule-bound there.

Oh well. At least I'm getting an earlier flight out of here. One small blessing of carry-on lugging.
