In 1988 I flew to New York from Tel Aviv, Israel, on El Al, probably the most security conscious airline there is, with four live bullets in my carry-on bag. I'd found 'em in a field outside Jerusalem and had forgotten they were in the bag. The bag went through X-ray in Tel Aviv and no-one noticed, or if they did they certainly said & did nothing about it. - -Dave- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
