Kentucky Derby Bans All Interchangeable Lens Cameras for 'Security Purposes
http://j.mp/Zw0wqo (PetaPixel)
"If you're planning to attend the Kentucky Derby early next month, you
might want to make sure you'll be content with capturing your memories
with a smartphone or point-and-shoot. Churchill Downs, the racetrack
that hosts the famous horse race, has unveiled new security measures
that will prevent attendees from bringing certain items onto the
grounds. Among them: all interchangeable lens cameras. In addition to
interchangeable lens cameras (e.g. DSLRs, mirrorless cameras), the
guidelines also prohibit any camera that has a lens longer than 6
inches, tripods, and camcorders. Churchill Grounds says that the
measures were developed after consulting with several law enforcement
authorities following the Boston Marathon bombings last week."

This is utterly bogus insanity of course. It's really all about trying to
control commercial photography for the benefit of the "official" vendors.
