I had the same experience, I was in India when the Indian Airlines airplane
was hijacked, the security was heavy at the airports and in places like the
Taj  but the police was very helpfull, no problem. When I visited Agra,
Jaipur...and in some place south India, I could use my M6 and shot a lot of
35mm rolls.
