Dear Mr. Mocek:

There is no local ordinance that we are aware of that would prohibit photography at O'Hare.

With kind regards,

Thank you, Ms. Hornbach, for confirming that TSA at Chicago O'Hare is not aware of any TSA policies, local laws, state statutes, or local ordinances prohibiting photography or video recording of publicly-accessible areas of the airport. There tends to be confusion over whether this is allowed, particularly at security checkpoints.
