Many of us arrived at the same critical point for travel photographers. As for others this was a factor for me to move to the M8 when it came out, however much I enjoyed the experience of shooting with film. For travellers (especially post 9/11) you just cannot be certain that there will not be a problem. That is really the bottom line. You have to assess the risk and consequences for yourself and what options you have.
