Cuba's Castro Censors Cameraphones

Only in Cuba: A British couple on a Caribbean cruise tried to take their cameraphone ashore when their liner docked at Havana in Cuba.

However, once the customs officials spotted that they were carrying a cameraphone, they were strongly advised to take the device back to their cabin and swap it for an ordinary (digital) camera, accoridng to The Inquirer.

Castro's regime is worried that tourists might photograph something they shouldn't and send it back home before the regime had the chance to censor it.
