This must have been since 9/11 because in early 2001, we went to DC, and I was all over the place with a couple of cameras and some nice, long lenses and no one ever said a word. The only place no cameras were permitted, inside or out, was our tour of the White House. However, my husband did get pulled out of the line since he set off the metal detector and they escorted him away. I told the kids, "Guess we won't be seeing Daddy for a couple of years." But they gave him back. I probably should have been arrested over my obsessive photography of the Hope diamond at the Smithsonian, though.
