Wow, that really sucks! I love something called the Ministry of Information being part of the ban. Oh, the irony.

I'm actually more surprised by the fact that someone around here reads the Kuwait Times!

Hello, Homeland Security? I want to make an anonymous tip on a possible terrorist...

It's all the more tragic when you consider that Kuwaiti photographers must be among the world's most imaginative. Once you get out of Kuwaiti city, it's almost impossible to tell one sand dune and oil rig scene from another.
I guess I'm going to have to change my travel plans, do you think anyone will notice the difference between Kuwait sand and Saudi Arabia sand?

Update:
"On Saturday, November 20, 2010 the Kuwait Times published an article titled 'Multi ministry camera ban frustrates artists' in which incorrect information was provided. The newspaper regrets failing to verify the information. The article wrongly stated that a ban on DSLR cameras was implemented by the Ministries of Information, Social Affairs and Finance. This information is false. In a follow up investigation, it was proved that no such ban has been issued. We regret this error and deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused."
