Camera-Cellphones:
It seems everyone is starting to ban these phones. I don't find this all that surprising. The concept that people wouldn't want someone to bring a camera to work appears obvious. The presence of cameras in the workplace creates a security nightmare for any company. Particularly companies that handle sensitive client information or research and development. This is over and above the thoughts about individual privacy. I suspect that this will become a much bigger problem once these cameras evolve to the point where the image quality available becomes much higher. At present the quality really only serves someone who intends to view the images with a computer.
