Police says no restrictions on phones, cameras for Obama speech

Police officials have said that attendees at a Prague speech on Sunday by US President Barack Obama will be allowed to bring mobile phones and cameras. Earlier reports said that those items plus sets of keys would not be allowed. The US Embassy in Prague has issued a full list of items which are banned for security reasons, available on its website. Among them are any kind of weapons, thermal or glass containers, packages, backpacks and other objects. Attendees will have to pass through metal detectors to view Mr Obama’s address on Sunday morning on Prague’s Hradčany Square. The 44th US president is expected to focus on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in his speech.
