Camera phone backlash

Will every cell phone come with a built-in camera before every place bans them? The race is on, reports the San Francisco Chronicle:

In recent years, camera phones have been banned in a number of places. Gyms have banned their use in locker rooms, hoping to prevent unsavory members from taking photos of their nude colleagues. Courts have banned them to keep the public from documenting private proceedings. And, as Apple did last month, corporations have banned them at events for a variety of privacy reasons.

Fear of the tiny, inconspicuous device that can quickly take a photo and send it around the globe also has expanded to schools, swimming pools, concerts and military sites.

With sales of camera phones soaring, these restrictions could become a bigger problem.

We now plan to roll-out into the retail space globally, with the support of a strong banking alliance to fully fund major retailers/wireless Telco’s-to date we have $A90m of fully funded proposals in the Australian market, during the trial with a pending international rights deal for 35,000 pxidigital® kiosks to be roll-out over next 5 years.
