Dave,

As a long-term IP lurker, I think your list might be interested in this experience my colleague reports on his blog:

Aerial Photography Considered Harmful

On my recent trip back from India on British Airways, I was inspired by Julieanne Kost's recent book, Window Seat (not to be confused with another book of the same title by Dicum) to snap some landscape photos at 35000 feet. I think we were over Iran at the time. After taking several shots, imagine my surprise when one of the BA attendants closed the window shade and informed me that it was against British Airways policy for passengers to take such photos for security reasons. I thought she was kidding, but the head attendant confirmed what I had been told. And that it had nothing to do with where we were flying.
