I've taken to rolling my own film into plastic cartridges and then just wearing my "Structure" pants [huge pockets and baggy as hell]. I then just walk through the metal detector "loaded" with film and smile. I used to use the lead bags. One inside another and this seems to work, but how well I'm never sure, and so far the never ending pockets have worked at all stations ;-) Alastair Firkin, http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/AGFhmpg.html
