Battered eylids, there is a deterrent if ever I heard one lol, I can imagine it now, the Judge puts on his black hat, "Mr Paedophile, I sentence you to be taken from this court, and your eyelids battered (mushy peas with that?)", Paedophile "Nooooooooooooooooo not the eyelids" 
Anyway, I agree with BlackCloud, photographers are treated badly, and why would a would be terrorist attract that much attention to themself in the first place?
I have never been 'moved on', the police did ask me once what I was doing (I was photographing the Portsmouth Guildhall) and I told him, "I'm photographing the Guildhall", he asked "why?"? and I said "because I like the look of it" that was that.
I do however seem to attract the younger "oi mister, what you doing? why? are you gay? it's just a f***** building/tree/car/sky (delete where applicable)"
You would have thought in London, of all places, the police would be more aware of photographers (especially as a lot of them are visitors) than most other cities.
Best we can do is to keep doing what we do, and just ignore what other people think/say, after all, these same people seem to want to know us when they need portraits/weddings/events/pets/kids etc photographed
Oh yeah, back to the terrorist thing, any one use Google Earth or the MS equivalent? Terrorists soo don't need to go out anymore!

It is shopping paradise
Besides the security guard was huge, and I wasn't going to argue, plus had the kids with me, so thought it best to just put the camera away.

Chester is more about browsing, and exploring, and having a nice shopping day, and something to eat
