The U. S. program "Mythbusters" tested this theory, and their conclusion was that personal electronics have no effect on commercial aircraft.

I've seen people taking photos with their smart phones in airports and on aircraft many times, without being approached by security personnel. Although it doesn't seem to make much sense, for some reason a phone is usually considered non-threatening compared to dedicated cameras, even when it's quite obvious that photos are being taken with the phone.

That seems to go right along with the general opinion i suppose. Go figure. :?

Assuming your flying ATL to Jamica you can shoot anything any where in the airport departure area, on the plane your good to go. As a matter of fact onboard you can ask the flight attendants to take photos of you and your wife, as long as there not busy.

Ya ain't gonna shoot anything anywhere coming back thru ATL customs area and Imigration, Fed. Law.

Worked there.

Check with the US State Dept. or the Jamaican Embassy.

I Agree Always Ask Permission In Advance, Even Many Shopping Malls Have Restrictions On Photography. Getting Permission Is One Of The Many Things That Separates Us from The Amateurs And Also Opens New Doors to The future. I Always Offer free images To Them For Their Own Promotion As Gratis. WORKS EVERY TIME! We Did Have to Get Permission From Home Land Sec. to Shoot A Pro Shoot At A Local Small Airport In Pittsburgh Last Year

You cannot take photos or have your camera of any type out during take off and landing. Not a good idea at TSA checkpoints, other than that, or if you are not flying have fun.

I've never had problems with cameras or computers in airports, along with ham radio equipment. Sometimes they ask me to turn things on or boot up a laptop (always good to have a newer one that boots fast!) and once they wiped it down to see if it was a "boom box." I even once got a picture of the door marked "secure inspection area."

The best airport I've been to for photography is O'Hare. Somewhere I've got a video of the tunnel lights and music.
