DFW Airport - 01-09-2011, 07:00 PM


I'm sitting here waiting for my weekly flight. Have my new camera with me. What would happen if I pulled it out and started taking photos? I'm not sure what kind of rules exist......might be a security risk? Just got this thing and haven't had any time to shoot.

I love going to airports. I love aircraft, I love flying, I love the fact that the airport always has lots of beautiful women. I spend hours chasing women all over the airport with my camera.

Just go up to a TSA employee and ask what areas are not off limits to shoot. I usually shoot out the window at the planes being loaded, but not at the people waiting or being screened (not that these people shots will get me in trouble, just that I don't see much value in shooting them). However, the TSA clearly states on their website that you CAN photograph certain parts of the screening process, too. I know you can't shoot the x-ray machine monitors, though.

I think Janik's suggestion is probably the most sound, if you have the time perhaps giving the PR/Media Relations manager at the airport a call and asking their OK might help (perhaps even a letter)
