Forbidden picture at station

Waiting, waiting waiting. Every day my train is late. But hey, that's okay, if the low winter sun shines so nice at it...

"What are you doing? Stop taking pictures. That is forbidden!" -A short and angry train conductor next to me on the platform.
"Are you serious?", I can only reply. "Taking pictures of trains is forbidden in this country now?".
"Yes, that is the new anti-terrorism policy".
"But I don't see a sign anywhere saying taking pictures is forbidden now".
"Well, that must be on our website, or something.."

Than the train starts rolling. And stops. And is late again. Only when I can get online, I find out it is simply not true.
The NS website states one is allowed to take pictures at all times...
