    A year in jail if Congress passes new legislation being offered.


    Some people, however, are using them for nefarious purposes, such as
    taking pictures beneath women's skirts and posting them on the Internet.
    Lawmakers want to make taking such surreptitious photos and other
    illicit uses of video technology a federal crime punishable by up to a
    year in jail.

    "No one should have to go through the embarrassment of being secretly
    taped by an electronic peeping Tom, or seeing those pictures turn up on
    the Internet," said Rep. Mike Oxley, R-Ohio, a former FBI (news - web
    sites) agent who is an advocate for the bill.

    I know of some companies banning the use of camera cell phones for fear
    that their employees will take pictures of top secret developmental
    products and share them with competitors.

    Camera phones are a nice novelty item, but with all nice electronic
    devices, a few bad apples always ruin it for everyone.

    These same companies will give away all their secret information to a
    coveted interviewee, who if they go to work for the competition may
    remember what they are told; and then the original company wonders about
    the source of "leaks" and it is themselves.

    If they can give away all of their secrets during an interview, chances
    are there are not many secrets to hide .... and they have been told
    before by another set of loose lips.

    Umm... if it's the employees we're talking about... what's to stop them from
    just using the very small digital cameras ubiquitously available these days?
    Just that there's a trivially larger chance that they'd be caught?

    If its employees, presumably they'd have access after hours.

    Umm... I suppose it wouldn't stop people from using small digital
    cameras. I was just stating that some companies have banned the use of
    camera cell phones.
