Saudi Arabia. Camera Phones Still Banned at Schools

Arab News reports that although mobile camera phones have been legal in Saudi Arabia since last December, their use is still not permissible everywhere - like in school. And this goes not only for the students, but for the teachers as well.

"Unlike their pupils, teachers are still allowed to bring regular cell phones to school whereas students are forbidden from bringing any such devices beyond the school's front gates.

Kids are not frisked at the gate, but could be by a class teacher. Some teachers bring their camera phones to school. Unlike their students, teachers are not searched."
