It’s interesting that security personnel are targeting mostly DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) cameras.
I checked Wikepedia to see what is unique about this camera. “A movable mechanical mirror system (2) is switched down (exact 45-degree angle) to direct light from the lens over a matte focusing screen (5) via a condenser lens (6) and a pentaprism/pentamirror…. this mirror/prism system is the characteristic difference…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_single-lens_reflex_camera
