I recently heard that 38 U.S. states allow audio recording when at least one part is aware of the action. I'm not familiar with any laws similar to those in the other 12 states that apply to still or motion photography.
Here is a pretty good site. In the 12 states, if you let the other persons know you are recording, then consent has been obtained. If the recording device is plainly visible, then consent is generally effected as well. I wonder if the TSA would require you to shut down the recording device and on what basis. No such prohibitions exist against video, except where there is an expectation of privacy (such as a restroom).
