No camera bags allowed.

I feel your pain, I rarely use a camera bag anymore. Partially, because I don't want to be mistaken for a "professional" photographer. On a slightly different, yet related note, when I travelled to Madrid, Spain a few years ago, backpacks and larger bags had to be checked at museum doors and were not allowed in. However, messenger bags and purses were generally ok to take in with you.
