2001-09-07-04:07:09 David Gordon: > Planning on coming to the UK? If you do your film will be x-rayed. Or you > won't leave. Actually... I've been able to get hand-checks of film on the way out of Heathrow the last two times -- after polite but dogged insisting. I remember reading somewhere that x-raying of film in UK airports ceased to be strictly mandatory after Lord Snowdon had some film destroyed... I had absolutely no luck with the authoritarian little pimple-faced petit-bourgeois prick in his blazer of authority in a Paris airport. It was all strictly by the film-speed numbers in the guidelines he'd been issued; no room for individual variation. But I've known a couple of French folk who would only recognize established, agreed-on published authorities (for instance, about medical matters) and wouldn't even entertain the notion that people's individual experiences might lend them their own sort of authority. Might be cultural.
