I want to make a picture id with my name, photo, some official looking
stamps and signature, and that reads: "The bearer is authorized to
photograph in this facility"
Maybe I should sell those on ebay...
BTW, check out this blog:

It's about the right to photograph in public spaces and reports
infringements and such. It's run by my friend Kevin Bjorke, who's a
Canon shooter but has gaffer tape on his Digital Rebel, so he's ok :)
I found this link off your link:

Lat year, I was hired to do some photography for a local video porn/sex toy
shop. They had this idea that they were going to publish a calender.
Anyway, one of the locations we decided to use was the local college of
learning, otherwise known as the University of Regina.
A rather young, half uniformed, security guard accosted us at about the same
time we were losing our light, and asked me if one of the girls I had been
photographing had been posing nude (apparently this is a no-no) for some of
the pictures.
In my best I didn't do nuthin voice, i said "No Sir, my girls are good
girls, the had clothes on all the time". (I consider panties and a hat to be
clothed).
Anyway, the fellow was very amused by the entire thing, but also did his job
and told us to move along. I think he would have held my reflector for me,
had I asked, but like I said, we had pretty much lost our light anyway.
Interesting that the description on that link is precisely the correct
description for the security guard I had to deal with on this occassion.
