Thanks for the headsup. I believe there was a case of a tv cameraman whose loose batteries knocking about in a carry-on bag shorted and caught fire! Good job it wasn't in the hold! He must be shite because any decent operator puts H+S at the top of the list. All my batteries, whether camera or otherwise have their own tight- fit containers for traveling abroad. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
