They are curteous, professional, swift, and they know they are doing. The people who used to work at security stations before September 11th, 2001 had a tendency to stand around with a bored look on their face, scratching their arses, and talking about intimate details of their friends private lives so that everyone around could hear them. More often than not, if you turned up with *anything* outside of three postcards or a Kodak Gold 400 camera-in-a-box, they'd start screwing with you, simply because it gave them something to do. I can't recall the number of times that airport security people prior to 9/11/01 left me fuming (not to mention running for aircraft) because they simply saw an opportunity to alleviate thier own boredom. Asking for a hand inspection of film I'd more often than not get treated as though I'd called up the airport supervisor and asked him to run out for a cup of coffee for me. That has never once happened with the TSA people. They've always been fantastic. M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
