Not just SE camera phones but all other camera phones as well: Motorola,
Nokia, Siemens, Sagem, Philips, ...

and it also mentions the keyring cameras too, about time this was
brought into the equation instead of everyone ratting and raving on
about camera phones.

Of course it's not just the cameras that are security risks. Any phone that
has IR or Bluetooth capabilities could be considered a risk. I can imagine
also that smart phones are going to be problematic as well especially if
they have SD or CF slots built into them. It goes without saying that you'll
have the same issues with PDAs with cameras, BT, Ir and memory card slots.

Well, that's all very true and worth considering. If you see every
employee in a company as a criminal and data chief whose only interest
lies in selling company secrets to competitors, you should start
installing security locks like they have them at airports and search
every member of staff from top to toe before they're allowed to enter
the company buildings in the morning and also before they're allowed to
leave in the afternoon/evening.
You shouldn't be too astonished, however, if within a period of six
months or so, all your "good people" will have probably handed in their
resignations and found work with other companies.
I would like to draw your attention back to the article referred to in
the original post: it stated very clearly that thighter security
regulations alone wouldn't help solve any problems. It's more a question
of corporate culture than of banning technical devices.
Kind regards,
Olaf

Re: Camera phones suggested banned
This discussion is interesting! A couple of months ago, when I was
considering buying a T610, I asked the security department at the place
where I work, if phones with cameras were OK, since I know that cameras have
been forbidden always. The answer I got was a little strange, I think: "As
long as you don't use the camera, the camera phone is allowed". Maybe I
should bring my old Canon EOS 650 with me every day at work. If anyone asks,
I just say "I'm not using it". Or how about bringing a handgranade on the
next flight? Try "I'm not using it" ;-) I think the answer I got from the
security deparment was stated the way it was in order to not irritate all
executives that have their p800:s and p900:s

It is not just companies worried about their little secrets getting
out that are banning the ubiquitous camera mobile but many semi-public
places as well. Here in Australia you generally cannot bring them into
swimming pool or gym areas. You'll get into trouble carrying them on
the beach if there is a kiddies' surf carnival on as well. If you are
a lawyer or other visitor to the Court system the authorities will
regard the device primarily as a camera and confiscate them until you
leave whereas those of us with non-camera phones can make and receive
calls in Court precincts to our hearts' content (but not the Courtroom
itself naturally). The list goes on.

Same with the company I work for. But I think the main point is not
about irritating the executives; this regulation merely acknowledges
the reality that it has become difficult to find a phone with an
up-to-date feature set *without* a camera.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are
going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as
they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
