As a frequent traveller who enjoys taking the odd photo whilst in flight ,
maybe We should all just be given a blindfold for the entire flight ! ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT SWITCHED OFF - does that include hearing aids , digital watches etc ! I agree with mobile phones being switched off - for the sheer annoyance factor to fellow passengers.
Come on lets get real about this .... you get to see parts of the world whilst in flight you will never see from that viewpoint so you should be able to record it !!
