However, I also favor training. I shouldin't be that hard to teach the security people at the gates that all cameras are not alike. Also to keep theri hands away from shutter curtains. I have a friend who had her Hassy 500c blown up by Army security in Germany. they apparently feel that if they can't identify the object via an Xray, then it's best to blow it up. They did replace the camera. I have found that my best photos are usually taken close to home of subjects that I kno well. Travel pictures (mine) tend to be interesting, but not necessarily strong graphically. How does that work for others? Where do you take your best pictures?
