[Leica] bring a leica to disneyworld?

Hello,

Some of the best pictures of our children that we have were taken at 
Disneyworld.  Had I not taken my "good" camera each time, these shots would 
not exist.  The best "Disney" pictures I have taken were with my DSLRs.  The 
best pictures of my children in magical moments were taken with a 
rangefinder - those are the ones that hang on the walls of my office and in 
the den.

I'm not sure where you're flying from, but in the last year I have flown 
between Texas and the west coast repeatedly with an M3, M5 and/ or CLE with 
a variety of lenses and there has never been an issue.  Flying in the US 
with a camera bag and a hand inspection of ALL film is still a God given 
right (OK, a government given right).  Unless it's changed in the past few 
months, regulations state, "one carry on and a camera bag."  I've got the 
link somewhere in my IE to the official government site that states this. 
If no one else has it handy, I'll look it up and send it your way.  I always 
print one and carry it with me when I fly, "just in case."

You will have an issue flying out of Orlando - that airport and Houston are 
the two most uptight about camera gear I have yet encountered.  These are 
the only two airports I've had to quote their own regulations to - and you 
can imagine how much they loved that.  Houston actually refused to not x-ray 
my film - and to fight it would have meant to miss our plane.  Just be sure 
you give yourself enough time for hand searches.  If you do, you shouldn't 
have any problems inside the US.
