[Leica] What would you do if this happened to you?

[frank.dernie at btinternet.com (FRANK DERNIE)]

I have been traveling all over the world about 25
return trips a year since 1976. I certainly appreciate
safety considerations but I would like it to be
effective. The USA is behind because they have only
come into security checks relatively recently and
customers have been used to short delays and huge
carryon allowances above security considerations. If
there is anything clear about security it is that it
is always varying - probably a good thing - and
sometimes it seems good and efficient and sometimes
mindless and irritating wherever in the world one is.
I usually leave from Heathrow and the security seems
different each time.
