Kuwait Reported to Have Banned Use of DSLRs in Public!?

See the latest news and report at the DPR:-

Kuwait reported to have banned use of DSLRs in public

This looks really ridiculous afterall! What's the rationale behind?? For security reason(s)? Are the DSLRs weapons? How dangerous they are?

Maybe the Kuwait Government has recently searched this Pentax SLR during a recent operation and shortly decided that they should ban all DSLRs as such! ;-D

"The Stinger is a single-shot re-loadable .22 magnum pen-gun, perhaps the single most popular weapon of the C.I.A. In 1966 the Stinger has been "swallowed" by an Asahi Pentax 35mm SLR and properly cocked via camera’s film advance lever. It shot by shutter release button breaking the lens elements in front of it. photo: CIA website"
