It's official: photography is NOT illegal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey Folks,

It's official. While the repsonse is most likely a
generic one, there is one VERY key part for us
aviation photographer/spotters to read, to print out,
to carry with us, and kindly make MP, NG, police
officers, security personnel aware of. The response
was long, but here is the most important part:
<begin letter>
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.  We
appreciate your
suggestion and concern for the nation's aviation.  Due
to the heavy volume of
mail that we experienced and our desire to answer each
letter, we have
not been able to reply to some correspondence in a
timely matter.
Please accept our apology for the delay in responding.
<snip>
Film/Photography
Some questions have been raised about photography in
and around
airports.  We'd like to clarify that neither the
Security Directives (SD) that
have been issued over that past few months nor Title
14, Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 107-airport Security, and
Part 108-Airplane
Operator Security, contain restrictions or
prohibitions on photography. We
encourage you to keep abreast of any regulatory
proposals for enhanced
airport security to ensure that the concerns of
professional photographers
are considered fully.
<snip>
Please accept our appreciation for taking the time to
share your
thoughts and concerns with us.  Your support and
cooperation is an important
contribution to ensuring the safety and security of
the Nation's
aviation system.
Most Sincerely,
Tell FAA Response Team
<end letter>
