Subject: [Leica] airport security

Since Sept 11, I have flown to New York City twice, to Chicago and to
Arizona -- all from Florida.  While security was tighter, I had no
problem hand carrying my Domke 803 satchel with 1 or 2 Leica M6TTL
cameras, 2 or 3 lenses and an SF20 flash.  The satchel was opened and
searched a couple times and checked for explosives once.

I also hand carried a laptop computer with me and had to take it out of
the case to go through the Xray machine.  Once I had to rum my shoes
through the Xray machine.

Go ahead and take you Leicas.  Don't even consider checking them!
