I know in Cyprus you are not allowed to take photos outside of the airport ie. the runway where the planes are all sitting. I nearly got myself arrested for taking a pic of my son going up the steps of the plane, the hostess ran at me full tilt and grabbed the camera off me and almost ran up the stairs of the plane dragging me with her. She told me that because its also like an airforce base (??) i could be arrested for spying just by taking pics of a plane!! that was about 5 years ago, dont know if the rule still applies.
