The little thing that I think Hama makes. It is about the size of a cigarette box. Hard plastic heavily lined leadbox for four 35mm cartridges. I recall they claim it protects at least upto 3200 ASA against any standard airport machine. But I don't know if this is really true and as said they weight a lot (for the size). Saw them in Zuerich last summer. Anyone using t >> I have used a half dozen of these boxes over the last 11 years. They appear to have worked with TMY and Tmax 3200 through a variety of German and US airports, sometimes with repeated scans. Physically, they have held up perfectly. I find them a handy and elegant solution for small amounts of film, and use them for handy storage even on ground trips. They seal pretty well, too, which allows one to safely dispose of the canisters ahead of time. Will von Dauster
