Yeah, it's a shame. I'm generally quite private when it comes to PDA (probably as a result of stories like this, and how overwhelmed and paranoid I can get about things in general). It's sad for those who get enjoyment from holding hands, kissing, etc that they have to be cautious where/when they do it.
