I know media can cover the funerals and returning home of dead soldiers now as stated here:

http://www.mail.com/Article.aspx?articlepath=APNews\financialnewsigtech\20090406\Pentagon-War-Dead.xml&cat=money&subcat=financialnewsigtech&pageid=1

But the article still says, the media need permission of the dead soldier's family.
But what about once the dead soldier's body leaves the military base and goes to his/her family home? can the media stand outside the dead soldier's family home and take photos of him/her without the family's permission?

Also, anyone know the name of the old law that banned media coverage of dead soldiers returning home and what's the name of the new law?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

**A: yes, I know the name of the old law. What class is this homework for anyway?
