The last time I flew with the Leicas, four people had to review the xrays 
before they'd believe they really WERE cameras and let me through... and 
then they found the RB, and that got fun.  

I'm one of the "get to the airport very early" brigade, so I took the time 
and taught an entire shift of TSA guys about mechanical cameras.

I'd like to think it made life easier for some of us.
