I usually put it in the tray along with coins and most times the security people hold it up and ask . "what's this?" I point to my ears and say... "My hearing aid control!" Their reply, "OK." and they hand it to me! Now it's a whole new ball game if they are removing the batteries out of a camera, let alone something most have never seen before with 3 AAA's enclosed. I can make two little red lights flash as I make loudness adjustments. but that's nothing they can hear but me If anything untoward happens I shall surely let the family know, as it could be very interesting...... OR? Nada! Place yer bets ladies and gentlemen, batteries out and deaf or batteries in and hear? :-) God, we've got to make some humour out of all this or surely we'll all go completely mad! ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
