That reminds me of a story. About fifteen years ago, I was at the
Atlanta airport
For an update,
I had no problems going through the checkpoints at either airport (ATL
SFO) I had no film over 400 in the bag so I just left them in there and ran
it through the machine... One roll developed so far and it looks ok to my
decidedly untrained eye. I was not asked to open my bag at

I boarded a plane in Detroit last week with a big lead bag
full of film. They
opened the top and peeked in, but didn't look under the three
or four rolls of
film they could see through the top of the bag. I could have
had anything
under them.
I'm hesitant to say anything to the security people, because I've heard
of people who've been subjected to extensive searches and delays when
they've spoken out. But I'm thinking I ought to call the FAA. It's
happened twice now since 911, both times at Detroit Metro.

Paul,
That is a dilemna. If you speak out, you will probably make flying
for photographers even harder, but if you don't speak out, security
could be compromised.

I've been flying quite a bit since 9/11 and haven't had many problems. However,
they're going to go through your bag item by item. I would put the film in a
lead bag and then put it in your LowePro. They'll open it of course, but like I
said, they're going to look at everything in any event. I'm
to do with
actual security.

What makes you think my backpack wouldn't fit through the scanner? It's
surely smaller than a LOT of women's purses. Remember, it's not the MACRO
