New Jersey proposes photo ban at ‘high-risk’ sites

New Jersey aims to ban photography of "a power generation, waste treatment, public sewage, water treatment, public water, nuclear or flammable liquid storage facility, as well as any airport in the state." Getting caught doing so would be punishable by up to 18 months in jail. At the very least, the state wants to be able to detain photographers caught taking pictures of these places.

Geez, New Jersey. Paranoid?
