Carried in this manner, however, I was able to get a hand search throughout India, Nepal, and the U.S. I think that having the film out of the black cannisters (clear might be ok) really helped. As for London, they're the _one_ airport where I trust them to have properly maintained equipment -- I have never had problems with film that has been through their handbag/etc. scanners. - -Anand On Tue, 12 May 1998 15:53:45 -0400, Richard Clompus wrote: >Dear Fellow LUGnuts, > >I am traveling later this week to London and then on to Israel to >lecture,scuba diving and photograph.
