I'm continually amazed at what these people think is dangerous. When I was flying a lot, I would often carry a kit that included a Vivitar S1 90-180mm flat field lens, about as long a my forearm and weighing about 4 pounds. I think I could have beaten someone to death with it and still used it to photograph the blood splatters. TSA and their predecessors would take off both caps, look through it and let it pass, but they confiscated my 1 inch blade pocket knife the time I forgot to take it off the key ring... -----Original Message----- >From: Luiz Felipe <luiz.fel...@techmit.com.br> >Sent: Jan 12, 2009 2:00 PM >To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> >Subject: FIlm transport in hand luggage > >Well, seems almost certain a trip of yours trully around part of the US >between april and may '09.
