They used a separate "tissue sampler" for each roll of film ( I had 75 rolls). Each sampler was separately brushed across all 6 surfaces of the individual roll of film. They even asked me to remove the plastic baggies I had put the film into..... I was lucky though... the 2 guys in front of me had to do the shoe removal thing before passing through the metal detector. Then the second layer screening ( wand) but before they did the wand, they made the 2 guys sit on a chair and show the BOTTOMS of their feet to the Security guy. ( note, not the shoes, but their naked feet bottom). So what were those guys supposed to be carrying on the bare bottoms of their shoes? Used gum? Dr. Scholl's bunion pads? The real problem is that the guys that think up these inspections are more nutty than the guys they are trying to catch. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
