Even as loyal followers of the railroads and all the crap we endure from the people who think we are up to no good by the simple act of holding a camera in our hands, this looks like a death trap from afar. Electronics strapped to your body, camouflaged, adding the 4 90° cameras on a hat may make you stand out as a 'person of interest'. Has a post-911 world got me too scared for my hobby?
Believe me, I am the first to stand up for my rights and have successfully done so in the past with inept officers who knew nothing about the railroad I was standing next to. But to stand out there on the platform (or public sidewalk) watching ... may wind up having you being watched even more. Forget about wearing this while on public transit!
