Simple fact: Since 9/11, you are NOT ALLOWED to tale photos of refineries. I transport propane out of them daily, and if I get caught taking any pics, I lose my ability to enter them ever again.
This is nothing but proper security. No ML!
If you want to get access to any refinery, or any port in the US today, you need a TWIC card (Terminal Worker’s Identification Credential). That’s THE LAW.
I actually didn’t know they had refineries on a list of no pics.I’ve lived close to refineries and been to refineries and never thought one would need detail planning to blow it up.My bad.
