Camera Phones
Lots of publicity about camera phones being banned in certain places. See phones. The problem is real, but the solution is not. Why? Cause if you check what is available closely, cameras have been available for ages in pocket managers (PDAs), memory sticks, pens, and lots of other daily used items. The quality of these pictures has surpassed film standards in average sized shots. My point is - cell phone cameras were the last to arrive on the scene. How is banning those going to stop all sleazy pictures? And I won't mention the 'security cameras' which no one watches "unless someone has done something wrong". Our pictures are being taken often, everywhere. And like controlling the internet, it will be awful hard to stop it.
