Some of the world's leading photojournalists and filmmakers are
calling on the manufacturers of the cameras they use to add encryption
to their products, as the number of threats they face from having
their devices seized is "literally too high to count."  Over 150
documentary makers and reporters signed an open letter by the Freedom
of the Press Foundation, asking for camera makers -- including Nikon,
Sony, and Canon -- to ensure that their work is protected while often
"attempting to uncover wrongdoing in the interests of justice."
"Documentary filmmakers and photojournalists work in some of the most
dangerous parts of the world, often risking their lives to get footage
of newsworthy events to the public," said Trevor Timm, the
foundation's executive director. But, he said, "they face a variety of
threats from border security guards, local police, intelligence
agents, terrorists, and criminals when attempting to safely return
their footage so that it can be edited and published." The filmmakers
say that camera security has lagged behind the rest of the industry,
leaving their work "dangerously vulnerable."
