Ten months after the MTA first warned photographers to prepare to keep their lenses covered when descending into the subway, the agency board has not passed its controversial ban on unauthorized photography.

"It's in limbo," said Paul Fleuranges, a spokesman for NYC Transit. "In light of the public's comments, it's being reviewed."

Fleuranges anticipated the MTA's full board, which must approve the ban, would not vote before its April meeting. Concerned about terrorism, the MTA first proposed the ban in May 2004 as part of a larger change of transit rules that would also prohibit walking between cars while a train is in motion.
