[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

As to photography/videoing aboard US-registered aircraft: I suppose if a flight attendant caught a passenger in the ACT of photographing, and the passenger refused to stop, after being ordered to do so, the flight attendant/crew might be able to have that passenger arrested on a charge of "refusing to obey instructions." It would be interesting to see whether the charge would stick if the person was an accredited media reporter, and was photographing/videoing in connection with his work. However, yes, the few videos I've seen on tv (of an aircraft interior) all appeared to be done with the knowledge and consent of the crew.

The case of a woman who videoed a passenger-to-passenger (verbal) fight aboard a Jet Blue flight is interesting. The woman refused an order, from the crew, to delete the video. She was placed in a holding cell at Las Vegas airport for a few hours, then released and never charged with anything.
