Never happens elsewhere, but always there. not that they are rude about it or anything, it is just annoying. I wonder if their way of trying to reduce their air-space congestion is to annoy off passengers? It's also the only airport, where I have had the security guy take off the front and rear cover of *all* my lenses, to look through the glass. Either he is a photo-geek like us, or he's the most carefull of them all..... But now I'll stop. I am waaay too OT for someone who's just been posting for a few days here. Sorry guys... --thomas
