... Bruce, I've flown domestic US numerous times since last Nov. always with film. My reccommendations are to carry all exposed & unexposed film in Zip lok bags that can be separated from your carry on luggage and run thru the scan adjacent to the metal detector that you walk thru. My experience has been that if I ask for a hand check of the film it always leads to a "maximum personal search" of everything I am carrying onboard. The TSA has taken over security @ airports that was previously handled by private firms. So far this appears to be an improvement. Also, anything you send as checked is subject to opening and airlines are advising not to lock any checked baggage as the lock will be broken if TSA wants to look inside, so I would reccommend against checking any valuables. Enjoy Hawaii, burn much film... Ken Waller ________________________________________________ PeoplePC: It's for people. And it's just smart. http://www.peoplepc.com
