After I updated to 4.4.2 the lock screen camera option was gone. In my lock screen options it doesn't say camera anywhere. How do I get the camera in my lock screen?

Hello.
Do you mean it is not one of the Multiple Widgets you can add to the Lock Screen.
I think a feature of KitKat was the separate camera icon for the Lock Screen.
If you touch Lock Screen - Multiple Widgets you will get a choice of several icons OR the camera icon now.
Of course, you cannot access Multiple Widgets, or change the Look Screens layout, with a security code active, so you will need to change security to Swipe or None.

Hi. This drove some of us crazy a few months ago. There was a logic to it.

It's simply that when you remove your pin lock to a swipe lock or none, you will then see the Multiple Widgets option.
You currently cannot have lock screen camera or app shortcuts on your lock screen that has a security pin/password /pattern lock. The shortcut would give anyone direct access to your phone as with these you don't need to enter a pin but you are in. The choice is Lock Screen shortcuts or Pin Security, not both.
Turn off security temporarily and you will see.
