All I did was ask nicely, mention that I had fast film, and a supervisor was called over to do the exam. Everyone involved was quite friendly and quick, I think it added about 4 minutes to the regular security check. As far as I can tell there is a big difference between the Federal screeners, and the people they had before. Have a good flight, Richard Wasserman - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
