Amit: Sorry, but this something I really believe is WRONG (as do a bunch of people on FF) and it is important we get as many people to see this as possible...please DIGG it and try to get everyone to see it. Thanks.

This was most likely one of those things where they were freaking out about terrorists and what not. But at any rate, most places like that have the right to refuse anyone for any reason.

Justin, I 100% agree, that's why I logged in to digg to vote, which is not something I do very often. Still half my FF front page is about this it :o)

Nathan, I agree that any business has the right to refuse anyone. However, the way the patron was treated and, how it was handled is what has people riled up. As a business owner, you might refuse anyone you want but, don't be surprised if your public doesn't like your practices.

Nathan: Like Candace said, it has nothing to do with SFMOMA refusing Thomas...it's the way it was handled. It's ridiculous and quite frankly, moronic. If this Simon guy had an issue (due to business) he could have talked to Thomas in a civilized way. Thomas is a reasonable guy and would have talked with the guy had he offered to, but that was not the case.

As a amateur photographer that uses a DSLR, I always carry a copy of http://www.krages.com/phorigh... Many people are ignorant about the rights of a person to use a camera. As the museum's own website allows use of photography, I think hawke should contact the Museum's director and go over this person's head.
