Hi all, Now that Guillaume mentions this topic I remenber having read some bad news in a Swiss travel magazine (Globetrotter, which has a very good reputation). It said that last year 16 US airports - nobody knows which of them - had been equipped with state-of-the-art explosive detection devices (those that find Semtex and other nasty stuff). The article said that these devices definitely _do_ fog film. Well, I'm aware that not all types of film react in the same way, but for me it's one more reason to insist on hand-inspection of my films. Does anybody know what legal basis allows photographers to have their films hand-inspected? Do we depend on goodwill, or should we insist on speaking to some real cop in case the x-ray-gunman refuses to cooperate? Cheers Boris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
