Recently, NPR featured an article about a woman that was kicked off an American Airlines flight for singing a Whitney Houston song, but there was something else that caught the attention of at least one of their writers. During the video, crew members can be repeatedly heard telling people they aren't allowed to film or photograph onboard the plane.
American Airlines official statement is, "The use of still and video cameras, film or digital, is permitted only for recording of personal cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds events. Unauthorized photography or video recording of airline personnel, other customers, aircraft equipment or procedures is strictly prohibited." So as you can see, there's a fair amount of 'gray area' in a rule like this.
NPR goes on to mention that it isn't the first time something like this has happened. Recently, a travel blogger was kicked off a United Airlines flight cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds for 'taking a single picture with an iPhone .'
It seems to me like the airlines cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds are trying to cover their backsides from unflattering media under the guise of "potential threats." If you want to deal in a business that relies heavily on leisure and travel, you're going to have to accept the occasional picture or video. Then again, you could always ask Beyonce's publicist how that whole 'censorship of images' thing is working out.
I only fly as a last resort anymore. I'll drive almost anywhere in the eastern cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds half of the US, rather than deal with the heavy-handed ness and disregard for customers shown in the Airline cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds industry. I'd rather take an additional day of travel to take a train if its going where I need to be for long distances.
Really? You must have very little free time working for Homeland Security and Fstoppers... I agree our procedures can be annoying and tedious, but there are reasons for them. Just because you don't understand why something is the way it is, doesn't mean it isn't protecting you. People seem to only want to talk about these security measures when they fail, but plots are intercepted every day. I'm sorry that means you can't take full video or a full size hairspray on a plane. Get over it.
I really dont get why photographer and photographers are pinned as terrorists cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds by homeland security and other "security cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds agencies". Since the department of homeland security was formed everyone cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds uses secuirty reasons when they cant justify a measure out of laziness. Stop using the secuirty blanket of potential threats to hurass people.
Some if the requirements are rule based, but what I have noticed is some airline employees use the security fears to avoid having to deal with service cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds issues. They promote the idea that if you complain, you will be thrown off the plane. The vast majority aren't like this, but there are still several that I have seen since I travel all the time. The thing I find really funny is that they use this stick to deal with unruly passengers when a real terrorist is probably the least likely to be unruly since the threat of being thrown off risks their mission.
I witness events cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds are disputable and can be considered inaccurate. Photos and video are indisputable so it would seem that the only reason that the airlines do not wish you to take pictures or videos cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds is because they are doing something cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds they do not wish made public. Or just wrong. You ever wonder why airlines do not have security cameras in the cabin? You would think that would be a good thing since that would support there case in litigation. Think about it. Also read askthepilot.com. Great reading from a commercial pilot who writes about the airline industry in a very down to earth honest way. Good reading.
That's just ridiculous. People are taking pictures and video all the time, even if they aren't being totally obvious about it. This is a surveillance society. Traffic cams, store security cams, phones, computers, tablets, amp; traditional cameras are ubiquitous in society. We should all accept that when we leave our homes, we are likely on camera somewhere. It's unreasonable for a company to expect their customers NOT to document their experiences.
In a way I can understand, privacy is a big thing now, and the other passengers may not want you waving a camera/iphone around snapping cheap car rentals in orlando florida for 20 year olds shots. So maybe that is part of the reasoning. But photographing out the window or of your family should be ok, and by the legalese of it's official rule, it seems to allow for such things. Its a hard world to make rules for, because everyone has their own idea of what's right and wrong, or acceptable and not acceptable. Hopefully they use common sense to "police" their rule.
