Does anyone know why they don't allow cameras in federal courtrooms? I'm curious if there's a good reason for it, or if it's one of these weird laws from a time before cameras.

I believe cameras aren't allowed in federal courtrooms because it prevents jurors from being identified and threatened/blackmailed.
