The local security officer makes the rules using "better safte than sorry logic". Many Govt agencies do not restrict cell phones with a camera, but contractors do. On one occasion, I wet to IDA (Institute of Defense Analysis), a Congress funded corporation that evalauates various defense platforms, and asked them if I should leave my cell phone with reception as it had a camera, they looked puzzled. They saw no reason why I could not take the cell phone with me.
Off the top of my head these GSM w/3G don't have cameras. Note these phone are older so maybe harder to come by:

Nokia E61
Nokia E51
Sony Ericsson M600i
Sony Ericsson G700

As for newer phones they are getting harder and harder to get without a camera. You should look into business phones, those usually have the option to not have a camera. I also know that some blacberry's like the 8800 and the new tour don't have camera or have a model without a camera.

Good luck!
