Hi Shel I had all the gear hidden in two neutral pockets exactly for that reason. I do that always at least for the second body and the large flash and other parts on strolls too just for security reasons. The guy just wanted to say "No" and was not even brave enough to admit it. Usually. small local cultural institutions are thankful for any free publicity.
