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.
