   I have been successful by appearing in tourist class - GPS out of 
sight, but with the antenna facing skyward, and recording done by 
camera.   Using a laser measurement tool will improve survey accuracy, 
but may increase the chances of raising questions.  And use judgement 
about detailed survey of military or secure government buildings.

   Having business cards helps to quickly answer questions.  I've only 
had to show a card once.
