They also weren't allowing photography in 2002, when I went over there, and then later that year, apparently they were. The policy seems to change often, which I guess, for us, means hope for the best and plan as best as you can (getting permission, etc.). --Sue, who remembers some guy being dumb enough to try it while she was there, and he was using a flash on his camera, and boy, did that bring the security guards.....
