<<I handed my camera to the attendant for a 'hand inspection' since it had film in it. In an efficient manner she then popped off the lens cap and looked through the viewfinder, and then handed me back the camera.>>

Yes!  In fact I first sent it through the X-Ray, and then the attendant immediately asked to inspect the camera.  (too much metal I presume)  She did exactly the same, took off the lens cap and looked through the finder.  I was sure that if I told her that the finder didn't look through the lens I would be arrested.  I just smiled.  I just hope terrorists don't use Leicas.
