Unfocused security?

Does this mean they're going to try and ban photography when T5 is finally open? Or is it just that they don't want photos of an unfinished building? It is interesting that they seem specifically interested in stopping photos of aircraft. Heaven knows why; as said above, people will take photos anywhere they can - not because they want to cause trouble, but because they're enthusiasts. You need only go to A.net to see that photos have been taken in places like Iran, North Korea and others. The BAA can devote resources to obstructing photos ... and fail; the bigger picture is that the relationship they have created with aircraft enthusiasts will be damaged.

They could do down the Froggy route and ban photos, as has been done - sorry, attempted - at CDG. Again, a look at A.net/JP.net shows this has failed too.

Oh well, at least civilisation is alive and well at Schiphol ...
