80 posts dedicated to the bully boy mentality of Australian ground staff and is a symptom of how we are losing our individual liberties incrementally. We are probably the most authoritarian state in the free world.
You'd be suprized at the places you can get in trouble, the UK has numerous spots, including the Towet of London, the Eiffle tower at night is apparently illegal to photo, the sistine chapel. Most are copyright oriented. A Brit was dragged away in Egypt because he inadvertantly filmed a military helicopter while landing in Cairo, two Aussie were detained in Iran because they flew a photographic drone near a military installation. Numerous countries you'd have to be careful even at tourist hotspots if you happened to accidentally capture security/police/military in the background. I'd say most western countries probably discourage, if not ban PED/phone use on the tarmac.
