<\/p>\nTAKING loads of photos is an important part of most people's holidays – but there are places where it can get you in trouble.<\/p>\n
Lots of people share snaps of themselves in the airport on social media before they get ready to fly, to try and make their friends jealous.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, there are places inside the airport where passengers are prohibited from taking pictures.<\/p>\n
Everyone knows they're not supposed to get their cameras out while waiting in the line at the security desks or customs queues.<\/p>\n
However, passengers aren't free to photograph everything once they've made their way through to the departure lounges.<\/p>\n
A lot of airports won't let anyone take photos of the planes out on the tarmac.<\/p>\n
It may be tempting to try and take a photo of the aeroplane before you get on board.<\/p>\n But it could actually be breaching security protocol and could get you in trouble.<\/p>\n In the wake of the September 11 attacks in New York, airport security was significantly strengthened in most airports, with staff keen not to reveal how their airports operate.<\/p>\n As a result, most places will now prevent passengers from getting their pre-holiday snaps on the tarmac.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Doug Drury is Head of Aviation at CQUniversity in Australia. <\/p>\n He told Stuff NZ: "Such restrictions are carryovers from the changes to airport security following the\u00a0September 11 2001 terrorist attacks. <\/p>\n "Security teams change their processes frequently to prevent having any identifiable patterns that could be used to create a security breach.<\/p>\n "The increased security measures also mean new technologies were introduced; airport security sections do not want photos taken of how they operate."<\/p>\n It's not the only security rule that catches people out at airports, with peanut butter regularly getting passengers in trouble.<\/p>\n The sandwich spread is a favourite food item for people to take on holiday with them, but those who try and take it in their hand luggage regularly get it confiscated.<\/p>\n It's considered to be a liquid by airport security, meaning only tubs with less than 100ml in them will be permitted in carry-on.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, some passengers\u00a0order toiletries via click and collect to get around hand luggage rules.<\/p>\n And we've revealed\u00a0how to get through airport security faster\u00a0than before.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/two-united-kingdom-biometric-passports-852747999.jpg\")
