Photos would have been taken - irrespective. Camera phones rule - just ask Prince Harry. No one asks now - especially those who surround 'meedja' types who think everything surrounds their icon and that nothing is barred.

That's the way it is. You have to assume that someone on EVERY flight is recording/videoing something and that they will make the worst possible use of it.
