“Dozens of attractions in the US have banned the use of the camera extension devices known as ‘selfie sticks’, due to safety concerns. The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, and the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, are among those to have imposed a ban on the gadgets, claiming concerns over the safety of their artwork as well as visitors. Last year, South Korea banned the sale of unlicensed selfie-sticks, claiming the signals emitted by the blue tooth equipped devices could pose a disruption to other equipment using the same radio frequency.  Offenders face a $27,000 fine or up to three years in prison.”
