Hi Dave, There's an article in "The Washington Post" about how the U.S. Air Force is banning camera phones in restricted areas. According to a press release issued by Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, the National Security Agency calls camera phones "an unacceptable security risk to homeland security." Frankly, it's no surprise that the Air Force -- or any other organization with legitimate security concerns -- are banning camera phones. It's just a logical extension of existing security policies. The problem I see is when organizations and corporations without legitimate security concerns begin banning camera phones because they think their employees will act like jerks. I wrote about the Post's article, as well as including the text of the press release, "Camera Phones Pose Security Risk," in my Camera Phone Report Weblog -- http://www.wirelessmoment.com/2004/02/us_air_force_ba.html Alan --------------------------------- Alan A.
