If yes, they might as well replace you, the photographer, with a remote controlled camera robot. As for confiscation risks, the microSD cards are so small now that it would be really easy to stick it under one's tongue or loose it in one's pocket amongst the coins. :) Or for the truly paranoid, use a cellphone camera and send the pictures off immediately without having to look for a Wifi hotspot.
