And he was not going to take the film through several airports, just once outbound and once going back. Under those circumstances, and given the two countries involved, I refuse to believe that his 400 film would be harmed. I agree with you that if you go to third world countries, or provincial airports in Eastern Europe or Russia, then there may be some danger.
