Yeah there isn't an awful lot that they can do and taking cameras off of everyone, labelling them up etc is going to be a nightmare! I would try and get a pocket camera if you can? The zoom and quality on them is top notch in fairness and you are at less risk of loosing an expensive camera or being denied entry.... I'm still waiting for a reply but I'll let you know! :-)

I'll have a look at that thread though - I hadn't noticed it to be honest.
