Since the recent developments in Boston many public venues are forbidding backpacks and such. For those of us that carry a bag full of lenses this may require a rethink of bridge cameras.

Or you carry them around your neck. This is typical barn-door mentality.

Very little difference between a backpack and a camera bag.

When I'm walking and shooting, I typically limit myself to my camera and my 35mm prime. The bag stays in the car.
I may have my flash, with trigger attached, in a pocket.

Or a large purse, or a messenger bag, or a briefcase. Maybe Boston will ban briefcases and doctor's bags. Does Boston have businessmen or doctors?

Ah, yes. Let's close the barn doors after all the horses are out.

Amazing mentality. Ban bags not firearms. Just think 500 sleepers all able to arm themselves at country fairs & on the internet. No need to smuggle in arms. Intelligent hey!

A vest, packed with photo gear, will probably look like a suicide (I'm not supposed to use the "B" word) vest.

Let's face it. If I'm that paranoid, a messy diaper will look suspicious.

They'd just drop in in a containment vessel with a half ounce of Semtex and blow it up. I'd hate to be one of the poor crime scene investigators they send in for forensic evidence.

Last thing I would do is leave a bag of camera gear in a car, if that's what your saying .

A vest with a pair of those baggy ankle jeans and a hoody will fit right in todays fashion savvy world except for my gray hair and beard... Geezers and Geezettes unite... We have or had rights!!!
