Taking pictures on LA's Red Line violates the "9/11 Law"

Accused of breaking the "9/11 law", a metro-worker stops Keith and threatens to arrest him. Asking for clarification as to what the metro worker meant, Keith angers him enough to swear and swiftly Keith is reported to female surveilance. Female surveilance broadcasts a warning to Keith threatening arrest if he didn't stop taking pictures in his funky plaid shirt. Could they mean me? I was incensed/surprised/embarrassed/horrified/bewildered. People started staring. Coming over the second time, she tells Keith to approach the callbox near the escalators and speak to the sheriff. I didn't budge. So she said it again, this time louder...what was wrong with my plaid shirt?

I went up to the callbox and asked what law was I breaking?

Male Voice:
"You can't take pictures sir, we don't know why you are taking pictures. And by the way, nice plaid!"

Don't wear plaid when taking pics in subways, you might look like a terrorist.
