i've got to agree with the other person who responded -- i think your appearance probably had a fair bit to do with why you got picked up. you do look like you could be middle eastern, after all. not that this means it's ok, but it makes it a little easier to understand, anyway.
but mostly, i just have to laugh -- sorry, not to trivialize your experience, but -- i have this mental picture now, of the cops cruising by and seeing a guy taking pictures near the Baltimore WTC in the fog -- who looks like he might be middle eastern -- and is wearing a skirt. one can only imagine how hopelessly confused they must've been. if i were a cop, i might've picked you up just to make sure i wasn't hallucinating...
