Point being of this thread which you fail to grasp is that Mexico, as a state, is considered the second most dangerous place for journalists on this whole damn planet after Iraq.
A tourist with a point and shoot, or camera phone is prolly over looked by bad guys, unless, of course, they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A tourist with an slr is more obvious in a crowd. A bad guy prolly won't know, and will care less to know the difference between the different typed of gear that is available to both a tourist and a journalist.
A camera is a camera to a bad guy.
A bad guy will not take the time to stop and question any one with a camera, ANY camera, in order to safe guard their identity, and their deeds.
All this thread is for is to make people aware. If you don't take heed, then that is a choice that you must be responsible for.
I am just the messenger.
