[Leica] M8 battery airport adventure

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

My M stuff always makes the screen operator back up and look twice. I think 
because of the amount of metal. Those guys must have the
largest collection of deadly fingernail clippers in the universe, I'm sure. 
Last time I flew I completely forgot that I had a set of
darts in the front pocket of my camera bag after playing some games with my 
nephews previously. Somehow or other these three slim
tungsten bodied darts with metal stems and needle points were completely 
missed when they re-scanned my camera bag! Lucky for my
future darts scores. Still so far locally, they have never fried my exposed 
film.

Cheers
Hoppy

No, but security people did get very upset with me once when I 
refused to turn on my M4.
