It's the simplest way to carry film to facilitate hand inspection. One still might not get a hand inspection because in some countries it works like this: Everything going on the plane is x-ray checked. If you don't like it..............walk! It comes back to the photographer's call and worry! However, most countries are obliging and clear plastic zip lock freezer bags are always the best bet. If the photographer is one of these people who always keeps film in the canisters even after exposure, here is what you do. A: take all the film out of the canisters put in clear bags for carry on. B: Put all empty canisters in your checked baggage and reload the film back into canisters after arriving at final destination. Is it a pain in the ass? You betcha, but then those of us who throw the canisters away to start with, never have this problem! ;-) think about it. ted
