Here is my tribute to Piers Morgan - Hypocrite - Starring Piers Morgan - YouTube
Yes, the blowhard security guys were way over the top. They even had a sniper posted in the corner of the parking lot inside a jeep. One of the security guys approached me warned me not to take any photos of them in the parking lot and was a real jerk about it. I educated him on the fact that my camera had it's lens cap on and was not some super secret squirrel x-ray vision camera like they have, I just have the cheap stuff.
I used to be a contractor myself and I have worked with some of the best; I wouldn't take these guys to an Easter Egg Hunt.
F*#k that. At that point I would have taken off my lens cap and snapped away. Private security don't get to dictate whether people take their damn picture or not....
