I've actually had an experience right after 9/11 at O'Hare in Chicago (don't know if it makes a difference though), but it went like this:
Me: Oh, I almost forgot. I have film that I need inspected. Security: OK sir, then just put it in the tray. Me: Yeah, but I want it hand inspected. Security: I know sir, just go ahead and put it in the tray. Me: OK, here you go. *reaching out and handing her the tray with the film in it* Security: Go ahead and put the tray down. Me: But I need it hand inspected. Security: I know sir, just go ahead and put the tray down. Me: OK (figuring I can't hand it to her directly for security reasons, I place it on the conveyor for her to pick it up as I pass through) She doesn't bother picking it up and purposely lets it run through the X-Ray machine. Note to self.... pick up lead lined film carrying pouch. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Levente -Levi- Littvay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 6:49 AM Subject: Traveling experiences > Hello > > I just got back from Ada, Oklahoma.
