Yep, this happened to me at LaGuardia at Christmas. They wanted to run all my Delta 3200 through the X-ray. I asked if it would be enough if I opened all of the foil wrappers for them (it was 120). Finally, after some haggling, they agreed, and swabbed about half of them before they got tired of it and let me through. They checked Vanessa's shoes, but not mine, and one of the metal detector guys noticed our Leafs jerseys (as we were on our way to NC to see the Leafs vs. the Hurricanes) and kept whispering "Go Devils!" whenever we weren't looking. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
