Ihave had it happen to me and it wasn't pleasant, all I am doing is passing on a warning. Please note there were no signs on the station saying "no cameras to be used in the station."

Alan: It is usually forbidden to take pictures in shopping malls and inside shops. The reason is commercial secrecy i.e. they do not want competitors analysing in detail the shop interior. So this might be along those lines. We just do not know. You could ask?
But to threaten to use the prevention of terrorism act on someone taking innocent pictures is IMO over the top, especially given the fact that signs are not apparent.
I have twice been stopped and questioned in Windsor Great Park. On one occasion my photo rucksack was searched (only a quick look inside). I was a bit taken aback because I walked around there often, and the only time I got searched was when I walked on a particular piece of grass, directly in front of a gate. They were polite and I guess they have to check people.
