If you were a security guard for the largest piece of copyrighted art work in the world, and you saw someone trying to take a picture of it, you'd think he's maybe a terrorist?

Context is very important when making judgements.

You think the guard knew it was the largest piece of copyrighted art work? You think he even considered it artwork, and that's what he was paid to guard? I think he probably thought of it as what it was: a large gas tank.
