Haha.. It's the same on MRT stations nowadays. Last month, I went backpacking and decided to take the MRT from my place to the airport. This security saw me, the moment I acrossed the gentry, asked me to stop. I was carrying my 45 Litres backpack bag on my back, and a day-pack on my chest. He told he that he wanted to check both my bags. Upon opening my backpack, he asked me to remove the contents from my 45litres bag. I told him he must be joking becos I spent so much time packing them, and I insisted that I won't remove the contents. I guess he got no choice but to just look through my day-pak and let me go. This MRT security is plain crap.

FYI the security actually has the power to arrest you if you do not cooperate. :nono:

are you sure such guards at MRT stations have the power to arrest?

No, they didn't tell me to stop me from taking further pics. They just recorded my particulars and told me why they stopped me; because they wanted to know why I was taking pictures in the first place.

Would any terrorist reply "Oh, thanks for asking. Actually, I'm surveying the place so that I can bomb the building." when questioned?

Well... you can try that and see what the reaction of the security officer would be? :bsmilie:

or you could just full blast a flash in his face and run away :sweat:
