There's the regs as they're written and then there's the regs as they
are enforced. In order for the FAA to really go after you for this
you'd have to really tempt them in some way. If someone were "hanging
around the office and heard something" odds are you'd just get a
letter saying "don't do that anymore."

As for the insurance company (the regulatory agency that *really*
determines how many of us fly), it's a question of how they would
know? Let's say on your way up there, the engine quits and you put it
down in a field. Where I rent, I pay for the rental after I come back.
How does mister insurance man know I was breaking the rules?

Just remember a rule I learned when I was in a fraternity in college.
If you're doing something you shouldn't be, don't take pictures. It's
not the act that gets you in trouble, it's the paper trail. Stupid
laws mostly teach honest people how to break them.
