Funny................... but I wouldn't try replicating it in Britain I (TRUE STORY) once sparked a man hunt involving a helicopter with thermal imaging equipment at £

to the tax payer after I had been spotted carrying a Benbo camera tripod which obviously to some Muppet looked like a shotgun......
I saw the helicopter circling the local woods and park after I had got home..... and read my description the next night in the local paper............... The story did get me letter of the month in a magazine and the subject of a 'confession' on Radio 2
So if this was tried at a bus stop in the U.K I dread to think what would happen.
