I understand that the FAA may one day change these rules as tests have shown that these devices (camcorders, tablets, etc.) do not interfere with avionic equipment in the cockpit. Furthermore, if photography was encouraged, perhaps somebody would have caught a high-quality look at the Asiana landing at SFO a few weeks back. The only video available seems to be a poor-quality version taken from the Oakland side of the Bay and is of poor resolution. Again, it makes no sense to chase spotters away from airports whose photographs could prove useful.
