News media banned from T5
Having observed Heathrow Police stop, question and review pictures from a young womans palmcorder in T1 last year, one wonders how the establishment will handle the "threat" of journos with mobile phone cams in T5?
As I understand it BAA can stop you filming but have no right to confiscate footage in the terminal (unless they get the police to use one of the Anti Terrorism laws)
However BAA could sue if that footage subequently appears without their permission.
Use of hidden cams is covered by Broadcasting rules and shouldn't be undertaken unless it is in the public interest. One can argue that a mobile phone is a hidden cam!
Perhaps a court would conclude that filming piles of delayed bags or shoddy operations inside T5 is in the public interest but filming a securty checkpoint is not.
