Waiting aboard an American Airlines Boeing 777 at Dallas/Fort Worth, I decided to photograph aircraft taxiing past, but a member of the cabin crew told me to stop: my camera would interfere with aircraft systems. I could only take photographs above 10,000ft (3,000m).
This is the first time I have been told not to take photographs due to the "power" of the camera's battery.
Is the 777 affected by such a minuscule amount of electricity generated by a camera battery?
