I think the picture prohibition is for the member halls, obviously someone was worried about privacy. Personally, I don't understand the rule....

Some might indeed be worried about privacy, GRJ  I say that because I'm aware that some who sell in those tca member halls are hobby / train store owners who bring and sell tax free, used items from their establishments . So possibly they're concerned to the point of paranoia that photos of them selling their store merchandise tax free in those member halls will "out" them to PA's revenue / tax department.

Ogaugeguy, That rings-true, to me, because, back in the 90's, when I first entered our hobby, I witnessed a vendor I had begun patronizing, at a rather large model train show in Edison, NJ, actually have his entire table confiscated by tax agents, right there, on-the-spot, at the show, and held from his access, until he produced overdue tax payment(s) .

I don't know if they do that in Pennsylvania, but they sure seemed serious about it in New Jersey.
