X-no-Archive:yes
Ironically, I had just heard of a clerk at a Wal-Mart who saw a youth with
what appeared to be automatic weapons. She simply called the police, who
brought the young man in for questioning. As it turned out, what was
pictured were models, not working guns. The woman was fired. She sued, and
lost.

While I would guess that there was a qualitative difference between the two
sets of photos described, I see little difference between the actions of the
two employees involved, although a significant and ironic difference in the
outcome.

Since I heard about this on a major talk radio station (WRKO for those who
know it), I can only have the certainty of these events that radio, and
memory, allow. I do not have a URL for a new story.

For my own part, based on what I have heard and read thus far, I would
applaud the actions of both employees. I also suspect that this will become
a factor driving the popularity of digital photography, at least among those
who would prefer their personal photographs to go unnoticed...
