Ahh, another FT rabid "I can do what I want" thread starting again
It's funny, but I just looked at my company emails and there it was, a new policy implemented by United as of TODAY, saying that FA's are to not let passengers take pictures within the cabin to ensure the privacy of our passengers and the security issues that could arise. So there you have it, it is United policy.
I don't make them up, but I do enforce our policies, and I see the reason behind it. I don't want to be in other people's photo's on planes either.
