Okay, maybe this title is a little harsh. But I really couldn't think of a better one. Big government always takes things to extremes. Consider this article from Gizmodo:
"TSA Poster Reminds That Photography Is For Creepy Terrorists Only"

One of the comments in response to this story sums things up nicely:
Meanwhile, back in the Secret Terrorism Cave…
Evil Mastermind: "At last, my evil plan is complete! We shall photograph private jets, then blow them up!"
Henchman #1: "Hey boss, why must we photograph them first?"
Evil Mastermind: "You fool! How can we blow them up if we don't have photographs? The photographs…they are the key!"
Henchman #2: "And why private jets? Wouldn't we cause more fear blowing up commercial jet liners?"
Evil Mastermind: "You fool! Commercial jets would require a wide angle lens! All we have is the kit lens!"
Henchman #1: "I still don't understand why we need to take a picture of the plane first."
Evil Mastermind: "Fools! The plan is simple: Take a picture. Blow up! Why is this so difficult to grasp?"
Henchman #2: "Couldn't we just use the photos on Gulfstream's website?"
