"Camera phones are already illegal in the kingdom, but until now they have been tolerated by the authorities. [...] People have been buying phones as quickly as possible because they think they are going to be taken from the shops. The Ministry of Commerce and other relevant departments are currently devising new measures to stop camera phones being used to invade people's privacy, the Arab News newspaper has reported. [...] phones are also being confiscated at airports and from guests attending weddings."
