I have never had any problems with x-ray damage except out of Boston when they held some 400iso film in the machine for a long time while they zapped my camera bag. I was amazed on a recent trip to Gambia where airport security treated me with the utmost courtesy and hand searched my film with absolutely no trouble. I regret that we all have to suffer the history of incidents like Lockerbie and I, for one, would rather be safe. Gerry Gerry Walden (UK) Tel: (0)23 8046 3076 Fax: (0)23 8034 8542
