Pictures of flag draped coffins is a no-no...
I already PM him...
and did my research.... there is no such rule....
however, there was a rule under the Bush Admin. for the media to not do such a thing at Dover.
As you noticed, I pretty much stopped taking pics at the beginning of the memorial out of respect. Although flash bulbs went off the entire time.

As I PM'ed you... There is no 'rule' or 'law', just ettiquette...
We were just talking about this at work. It is sickening that they all are not honored in the way that they should be.Although tragic it makes me sick the the people of the US do not show this much support for fallen soldier,Marines,Airman&Seaman. The fallen Military make way less money and have a hell of a lot more dangerous job. And we do not honor them for there sacrifice.
4 Officers die via gun man, 30 soldiers die via IED and ambush and we dont close down roads for them or have a 10 miles funeral presession for them........
