You know, some years ago I went on a business trip to Mufulira, Zambia. At
some stage I whipped out my Instamatic to take a shot of the company Jet
standing on the grass next to the runway. Within seconds I had an AK47
thrust into my ribs. I was told it was illegal to take photos at airports in
Zambia because all were considered military intallations. Fortunately one of
our managers saved the day by saying I was taking the photo for our monthly
company newsletter. They didn't even confiscate the film in the end but it
was a scary moment.

Subject: Photographers are allowed to take pictures in Hawaii
From today’s AP:
HONOLULU (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union says it won't sue the
state of Hawaii after officials agreed to stop citing people for taking
photos from a sidewalk near the Honolulu International Airport.
The ACLU of Hawaii said Tuesday the agreement reached with the state
attorney general's office affirms the First Amendment right to take
photographs in public.
The dispute stems from a state sheriff citing an amateur photographer for
photographing airplanes along Lagoon Drive without a permit.
The ACLU says the attorney general's office is ensuring state sheriffs are
aware of the right to public photography. Hawaii Administrative Rules are
being amended to clarify that photography in public spaces doesn't require a
permit.
