The card RENFE / ADIF and security
As an amateur photographer sure you are aware of the need for RENFE / ADIF to obtain a license to shoot on their premises. The measure itself does not create so many complaints if their own employees know their existence and not pass the things you read in the forums, both in photography and in the fans of trains . The argument is that the company is done for security , and often wield terrorism, not great if as easy excuse, or as a way of scaring.
Moreover, the form of asking simply sends an email to foto.aficionados @ adif.es , or fill out a form, without having to provide any documentation showing identity.
In view of this, altavelocidad.org decided to test and called two authorizations on behalf of two significant figures: firstly Jacob Emile Pereire Rodrigue (historic character of nineteenth century railroad) and got it. Well, actually there is no reason today to be another person with the same name, and the administrative issues the licenses not have to be aware of the history of the railroad, so it could pass as a mere anecdote.
But it is strange also obtain without problems (as reported on its website) another authorization on behalf of Gorka Loran Lafourcade , terrorist sentenced to 2,775 years in prison for planting a suitcase bomb on the intercity Irun-Madrid.
If indeed the reason for this is security permissions, and continuously wields terrorism to justify how is it that is not a simple exchange of data between requests and police files? It's actually a rhetorical question. You may not be legally make that crossing, but it would not make sense to do so, because if a terrorist is planning an attack, the last thing I would do is get a permit on your behalf to take pictures ...

a friend is doing the right thing atra is doing something and doing nothing different one and if vd. does not know the laws of data protection, and the right to privacy prevents sometimes do things well what really clear is that with his attitude only makes the knowledge of security holes in this case, the company that question, but I assure you from experience that too many others, think that soon you will be required to give the data to acquire a prepaid telephony to see how we take the citizenship this,,,,, I can only say that as security is managed at 100 per 100 does not exist but it is clear that collaboration is a matter of citizens and entities

Precisely the data protection laws, the license in question (and deleted, by the way) had not in mind, since it did not appear anywhere in the form of clauses which require the LPD. In addition, one of the obligations imposed by this law is the accuracy of the data, which after altavelocidad.org test, demonstrated that not checked.
As for security holes, precisely his complaint public assistance to be corrected. Ignoring them does not cease to exist.
Indeed, for months that it is mandatory to provide the data to get a prepaid card. How do we take it ...? Well I have not heard that there were rebellions in the phone shops. When things are done right need not be problems. They come when they do wrong.
