Take off the lens. Set the shutter to bulb and show the kind officer that there is in fact film behind the shutter. Explain that you are a bit daft and prefer obscure German cameras to the more normal Japanese digitals. Happens to me every now and then and approached boldly and with elan have never had a problem. This weeks PAW was shot at the Atlanta airport again, no problems from the kind law enforcement folks or the armed military folks. Boldly go where photographers go.
