China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) has issued a warning to passengers on civilian flights to comply with regulations prohibiting unauthorized photographs of sensitive military areas and equipment. The MSS specifically instructed passengers to keep window shades closed during take-off and landing at airports used by both civil and military aviation. This directive comes after an online video showed a foreigner violating these regulations. The MSS emphasized the importance of this measure for national security, particularly in airports where sensitive sites are visible nearby. Star Alliance requires its member airlines, including Air China, to ask that windows be open during these phases of flight.
