A question of privacy

Article Abstract:

Companies involed in photofinishing are adopting their own policies with regards to the issue of customer's privacy. If a photofinishing order is illegal, Atlanta, GA-based Wolf Camera and Video requires employees to call the attention of a manager, who in turn with consultation with the district manager decides what steps to be taken. Dayton, OH-based Moto Photo Inc destroys the photos and returns the negatives to the customer if the photos depict sex acts, nudity, sexual touching or children in sexually explicit poses.

This is gonna take how long?

Article Abstract:

Camera repair usually takes about two weeks, according to David Marsh, the National Association of Photo Equipment Technicians president and president of Amherst, NH-based Apex Photo Technical Service. Repair shops offer a pre-approved flat rate pricing guide, which lists the flat rates charged for basic camera repairs. However, shipping and transport problems can cause some delays in the repair of cameras. If needed, retail chains send the repairs directly to manufacturers.
