Back in the 1960's in Ottawa , Canada, I was about to take a picture of people in the line-up in a big grocery store. I was told to take my camera outside! It may not have anything to do with 9-11. It may be that people with no soul are afraid you'll capture it photographically.
Once I was so sick and without means or money, and I went to lie dow in a bush, to maybe die. But a man came out of the house and said that I couldn't- that it was "private property". I went and lied down nearby, on a public roadside. I did not die.
Viking was talking abut privacy technicalities, which apply to some extent if you are going to publish your images- maybe even if not.
I think you might call city hall and inquire about that public building thing. But the supermarket can claim privacy concerns, I'm quite sure. They may not want people to disturb the fishheads as they lay there without bodies.
This all reminds me, though, of the power people give to images, which keeps us all in business, so long as we manage to snap a few shots when they are not looking!
