hey everybody!
I couldn't find the answer that i was looking for on any of the other threads.
I was wondering if anybody has been hassled for taking pictures of airplanes (not any of the checkpoints or of the terminal itself) INSIDE of Jetblue's T5 at JFK? Does anybody know any specific rule with T5 or any other terminal at JFK. Considering i fly domestically, and frequently out of t5, i am really eager to know the answer!

I shoot in T5 quite a bit. The end of the terminal offers a great view of planes taxiing by and if they are using 22's for takeoff and 31R for landing. If asked to stop, do so politely. I have only been hassled once in T4.

Nah, go nuts in T5. I do it every time I'm in there. Heck, jetblue even encourages me to send them pictures on Twitter. As stated above, head to the very end of the central corridor. Great views there.

I have shot from inside of T5 many of times and never had any issues.

I've never had problems taking pictures of aircraft inside T5 but i am only using a Canon PowerShot and that is a wee bit more discreet than a long lens!! And yes go to the end of the terminal for some great views!!
