Using DSLR In Public A Crime in Kuwait

It has finally happened. Taking photos in public is now a crime but I guess maybe only in Kuwait. And it's a crime only if you are using a DSLR. If you use a camera phone or a digital compact or one of those excellent long zoom digital cameras, it seems like it is legal and if you use film SLR, it also appears to be legal... that is what I am understanding from this article from Kuwait Times. Wow.
