Hi All,

Just my .02 on travel and film inspection. 
I spent 3 weeks in Scandinavia in May and had no problens with film being
x-rayed. I had my film in large clear zip-lock bags, without their film cans,
so the security people could see that it was only film. I kept the plastic cans
in my luggage.I presented them with a smile and said "here is my film". They 
looked at the bags from every angle, and were satisfied. I had no trouble at 
SFO, Seattle, Newark, Copenhagen, and Bergen(Norway) airports. IMHO, if i can
make the job of inspection easier for the security people, they respond with
a smile. I even had a few of them thank me for being prepared.

Dave
