A couple of court cases certainly hastened this into place. I did a tour of a car racing workshop a couple of days ago, and we were warned not to take out our phones, as most phones here now have cameras built-in whether you want one or not.

RE: Scouted: Article on camera phones and transparency issues
I forwarded this to my club manager. I really hate people who talk on the phone in the locker room. This is a perfect time to get a policy in place to make them to stop.
