I think this stems more from a corporate security position than a legal or "looking up girls skirts" reasoning.
Nobody wants people to walk into an office and be able to photograph documents, work product, etc, etc, etc. Blackberries have always been security heavy- I believe the logic behind the inability to suppress the shutter sound stems from corporate/IT security concerns, plain and simple.
I hate the camera click, personally. I'm not taking pictures of girls panties as they come down on the mall escalator, but there are times I would like to take a pic without the entire world knowing it.
