No, I think you've hit the nail on the head. Simon Calder said this morning that within the airline T&Cs it states that videoing and photography is the cabin is forbidden. If this sort of thing carries on will we see the day when, for "security and / or privacy reasons" all devices with cameras will be taken away from passengers on boarding, kept secure and returned on disembarkation?
Now that would be controversial!!
