I typically carry less than eight rolls on a trip and often only four. The only place in the world I have had someone refuse hand inspection when the film cannesters are out of the plastic containers and in a clear plastic bag is London. They appeared to enjoy being nasty about it and let me know in very clear terms that the Tower was next if I argued. I have had 120 film fogged by a hand baggage xray in Canada. Question: I have also used lead foil bags and wonder if they are of any use. The reason I wonder is that the airport security people have never asked me to open one. If it really blocks xrays, one would think they would be curious about what is inside it. Steve _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
