Frankly, the only thing that upsets me about airport security (and you all know I travel a lot) is when the operators of the machines are not paying attention. I do NOT mind when asked to open my bag and show them the various chargers etc. Sometimes my lenses, held together back-to-back with end caps epoxied together, look funny on their monitors and they want to take a look. I am FINE with all that. I have not been through Dublin airport for several years, but I have travelled through various airports in Europe with film including Neopan 1600 and never seen any damage, even after a trip with multiple scans.
