Back in October on the Kennedy airport, I had to undergo a third security check, this time a hand one. Two men and a woman very convinced of their importance went thoroughly through my luggage and dug out triumphantly the large tin can of 100 feet of bulk Provia 100F, which one of them tried to open! I had to patiently explain its content and repeat myself several times before they conceded it's harmless. I've seen in the past over here this brutal, negating attitude, often enough to tell my American friends your country is not on the right track... Servus, Alin
