Great idea. There was recently a story about these russians who trespassed and climbed the Great Pyramid in Egypt which is totally outlawed. They got some amazing pictures.
Egypt is pretty well fucked now, though, the islamic fundamentalists are already talking about destroying the pyramids and the sphinx.
But Tours of the Forbidden could be a real goldmine. One trip every 6 months or so, high dollar like a Mt. Everest attempt ($40k? $50k?). Your clients would have to sign a waiver releasing you from all liability for injury, death, imprisonment or just plain disappearing.
You might want to hire Naughty Nomad, after seeing his picture with the severed head and brains of a suicide bomber in Somalia I think he'd be the kind of guide you're looking for.
Holy shit, they want to destroy Giza? that's nuts!
But yeah, I think this is an idea with legs, and it will be one for rich people, since the risks are higher. I found out recently that entering or photographing Area 51 risks 6 months jail time and/or $1000.
Yeah, NaughtyNomad would be up for practically anything, I think.
How about "Trespassport" as a name?
