Kuwait ban of DSLR cameras?

13 years 3 weeks ago #42458 by Oscar Cohen
I'm reading an older magazine where they are talking about a rumor that DSLR camera's were banned in Kuwait unless you were associated with press. They also identify that this was a hoax. Reading this, and knowing rumors start with some sort of truth, so my curiosity today is there any location in the world where this is a fact? DSLR camera's are banned unless you part of press?

A world war could be started on rumor, I'd be careful there............:)

Why so serious?

That doesn't make sense, why would they ban the use of camera?

I don't know anything about a DSLR ban but many years ago when I was at Chichen Itza in Mexico, the guards would not let me take my large tripod in, claiming that the tripod made me a professional and I had no receipt showing I had paid an additional fee charged to professionals. Rather than argue with these idiots, I took my large tripod back to my rental car and entered with my small tripod buried inside my camera bag. I used my small tripod without any interference from the guards and got my photos.
