    They are all mad, some genius in the US wants to make it compulsory that cameraphones emit a "tone or other sound audible within a reasonable radius of the phone" when they take a picture.

    The lunatics are taking over the asylum it seems.

    I think Japan already has such a law due to a craze for men taking photos up women's skirts.

    Many countries have it I think - I thought the EU were working towards some legislation (or maybe it was just individual countries).

    I remember my Motorola (US) phone couldn't let you turn off the shutter sound, until I upgraded to Chinese firmware.

    Even in Ireland there have been scandals involving nude pictures of secondary school girls being sent around the country - so there's certainly reason for people to be aware of what the situation is.
