Prior to that the bag just went through the X-ray, lead film cans and all, and no one even blinked. I suppose those folks are starting to get on the ball finally. They aren't amused with my homemade lead film cans. I cringed as they ran my bag through the xray a second time, there AND back.:'( I may have to go back to rolling plastic film cans and keeping them in my pockets. Thanks to Hip-Hop fashion I can get a dozen rolls in my pockets with baggy pants and shirt without looking abnormal.
