I'm just back from three weeks overseas. Departing Albuquerque airport on January 13, I asked for a hand inspection of my film, as I usually do at U.S. airports. Result: they opened and wiped every cannister, then tested each wipe on the sniffing machine (the one they use for portable computers). Then they also made me remove my shoes, and wiped and tested those. As each wipe takes a few seconds, this is time consuming for the quantity of film I had with me.
Guess I won't ask for hand inspection anymore. Joe - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions. Don't forget to visit the Pentax Users' Gallery at http://pug.komkon.org .
