Congress gets bill to make cell phone cameras go click

One year after the passage of the Alert Act, all mobiles with cameras made in the United States must emit a “tone or other sound audible within a reasonable radius of the phone.” And the legislation would forbid manufacturers to program an option that would allow consumers to disable the noise.

How many of these devices are made in the US? Does this mean the NSA/CIA/FBI surveillance cameras must do so as well? What about video?

An unrelated bill will require everyone to go “Beep … beep … beep” whenever you step backwards, to reduce the mayhem of bumping into people.
