What's wrong with those >British guys?>>>>>> Hello Jiri, The Brits have an unfortunate problem with the IRA who like to bomb people to little pieces and have made very effective bombs inside items the size of a roll of film. The terrorists have been known to make an explosive device using a film cannister that can do some serious damage, or much worse, if they have a bunch of film looking things in a clear bag all containing explosives. Yes and they mix in real film with the explosive cannisters. Ergo ........they x-ray everything! So now you know what's wrong with those British guys! Ted Grant This is Our Work.
