[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just visited NYC last weekend and passed through Minneapolis/Saint Paul (MSP), JFK, and La Guardia (LGA). At all the checkpoints, I asked for hand-check of my film. They asked me the speed and I said "100 and 400, but they've already been through 3-4 times" (which was a bit of a white lie). They accepted that and hand-checked. They opened up the little plastic cases, swabbed them, and passed them through the portable mass-spectographer. Since I hadn't smeared them with plastic explosives, all was good. Note that on the TSA web page, it says that they recommend that even low-speed film be hand-checked if it's been scanned 5+ times. So just use that as your excuse for your Kodachrome. Karen - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
