The last time I flew out of Washington International we were screened thoroughly (and quite rightly) passing through into the main departure area but I wanted to go back into the main hall (i.e. the other side of the screening). I asked if this was possible and was told it was no problem but not to bother to come back through the screening but to go to the crew screening area and just tell them I had nipped out for something. I did this and was waved through by a guy with a Kalashnikov-style gun. He would never have known if I had nipped out for a gun, bomb or anything else as I was waved around the metal detectors etc.! Security is vital, checks to be seen to be doing the right thing are pointless. Gerry -- Gerry Walden LRPS www.gwpics.com +44 23 8046 3076
