Alastair, Volvo (Ford) does here in Gothenburg. Not mobile phones per
se, but mobile phones with built in cameras.

I think it's the engineering folks that they are worried about. It
would be real easy to take pictures of plans, sensitive documents, who
knows what (I don't work there, so I don't know. But I do have a
relative who works there and is not allowed to have a camera in his
mobile. He works with the development of new car models).

Industrial spying is a _big_ problem here in Sweden. There is a
certain country that is very active.
