(by virtue of the Kelby bump!) It does seem that maintaining professionalism and a calm composure wins the day. I had a situation occur myself in dealing with airport security a while back, and had shared the experience on my blog.

The biggest thing, IMHO, is to stay professional. In any situation with law enforcement, the moment you start to "educate" them on what your rights are is usually when things go from bad to worse. All of these situations seemed to end peacefully because the photographers maintained their composure and didn't become confrontational. They calmly explained what were doing and why they thought they could; they didn't seek conflict. I couldn’t agree more. The biggest thing, IMHO, is to stay professional.

I guess it's a sign of the times we are living in, but it still makes one uneasy in the normal course of creating images. The more we hear about these issues and how they're resolved the better.
