And security hollered at me when I attempted to take a picture of the ID process.
AHA. I totally meant to ask about this on that post from slytherincess yesterday, but forgot all about it until just now. Anyway, I was actually really surprised that neither one of you ran into this problem far more, especially considering it's the DNC. (I mean, last year when I had horrible jury duty in downtown NYC and wanted to take some pics for snarky photoblogging purposes*, I got grumped at and shooed away by a variety of highly suspicious cops - even after producing my jury duty notice and photo ID, unasked, and explaining that I was there for a legitimate reason.) From your description, though, it seems like they're actually being somewhat sensible about where they're prohibiting photos, and not just engaged in mindless security theatre.
*to clarify - I didn't want to take pics INSIDE the courthouse. I wanted some basic stock photos of the outside of the courthouse-y buildings. While they didn't treat me like a crazed frothing terror suspect, they definitely made me feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, and very nervous about the perceived "suitableness" of my answers. Meh.
