So try this for security:
At LAX 11OCT01 I boarded a plane after my unused
film was visually check by the "wanna be a cop",
no problemma with the camera either since I had
film in it.
Returning 14OCT01 was another matter. They wanted
to put all my film thru the machine. I asked when it
was last calibrated. They got huffy and said "If you
don't want it x-rayed then you have to check it in"
My reply was "Ah, so to protect my film and this
camera I must check it in cause you don't examine
check baggage?"
My answer was yes. Humm so someone with knowledge
of electronic devisse and a deviant mind can check
stuff into baggage.
I gave the curt minimum wage, gaurd a raised
eyebrow on that one.
Sign me unhappy with with the arbitrary and
capricous airport 'security'
