That's slow down you down to a crawl going through the airports... :-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Tina Manley Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 4:10 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] transporting film At 02:20 PM 7/16/2004 -0500, you wrote: > >Last time I traveled I got the full-court press as well...Granted, I > >have a beard.. ;-) Well, I don't have a beard and the last time I checked I didn't really look like a terrorist (I really look like a harmless grandmother!), but I have been stopped at every possible check point, had to remove my shoes and belt, produce my card saying I have metal knees, put everything I own through the metal detectors, had very personal pat-down inspections and answer a million questions about why I have so many stamps in my passport and why I'm carrying so much equipment. I allow at least four hours for airports now and nearly missed my connections in Miami with a five hour layover. I'd rather drive, but it's hard to get to the places I go by car.
