[Leica] Film from the Santa Fe spring shoot

I'm in the Albuquerque airport as I type this, having just passed through 
security. They did exactly the same thing to me, even using the same words 
("I need some help here"). But all I had in the bag was an M8 and some 
lenses for it. And half a dozen SD cards and some spare batteries. They ran 
it through their scanner about 6 times, seriously annoying the people who 
were behind me in line, and then took it out of my sight, probably to pour 
chicken blood on it.

I know from my days at NASA helping with the design of computer networks for 
the Space Shuttle that SD cards can be erased or changed (but not 
permanently damaged) by radiation. But the only pictures I still had on the 
SD cards are the ones I took this morning in Los Alamos; all the rest got 
safely uploaded to my laptop and then burned onto DVDs. DVDs are not damaged 
by the kind of radiation they use here.
