How so? I don't really know WHAT they're getting at, unless they're afraid you'd use it as a live-feed video camera, which I guess could be said to protect revenue (or, as others have pointed out, distinguishable from a smart phone). But really, when your choice is to watch Fox Sports or watch your friend's shaky face-time video, is Fox really that concerned about the competition?

That's my point. If it's not a security issue, it would have to be a revenue protection issue. I could see banning certain recording devices under the guise of revenue protection, but I'm not sure why you'd include Kindles in the list of banned devices.

One of these days, I would love to go to an event and not have to open my bag. I'm rather afraid that event checkpoints will only get more invasive, though.
