I'm sure their lawyers suggested this to help them in cases where
something unusual went on during a flight. Nowadays, video of flight
attendants bouncing down the aisle during heavy turbulence could/would
be on TV before the aircraft landed...

Hi All,
I thought this might be of interest to some PDMLers.
Almost every time when I fly, I try to choose a window seat that is
good for taking photographs.
Prior to this I've never seen any rules governing taking photographs
on/from the plane, except for those posted by airlines in Russia.
(Photography on an airplane in the Soviet Union was strictly
prohibited. Strictly speaking the rules still forbid it, but today's
rules are not as strictly enforced.)
Today I found:
http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6867,1036,00.html
"Onboard photography and video policy
The use of still and video cameras, film or digital, including any
cellular or other devices that have this capability, is permitted only
for recording of personal events. However, photography, audio, or video
recording of other customers without their express prior consent is
strictly prohibited. Also, unauthorized photography, audio, or video
recording of airline personnel, aircraft equipment, or procedures is
always prohibited. Any voice, audio, video, or other photography (motion
or still), recording, or transmission while on any United Airlines
aircraft is strictly prohibited, except to the extent specifically
permitted by United Airlines."
What about taking photos of things outside the aircract?
I suspect, that it is prohibited by the last sentence:
"Any voice, audio, video, or other photography (motion or still),
recording, or transmission while on any United Airlines aircraft is
strictly prohibited"
This is the first time I see any explicit policy with respect to
photography on an airplane in the US (or Europe outside of Russia).
