[pct-l] film and X-rays

[calliger at infolane.com (Richard)]

I carry all my film and video canisters/containers in cary on
luggage and remove it from my bag and place it on the pass thru container.

Never had a problem sa they do not insist on xraying it..I think I did this
once after 9-11 on a domestic flight...

I will let you know...2 weeks and counting..off to the Blanc-Matterhorn trail
in Suisse for a month via United Airline...so..we shall see
