Don't laugh, but I board a plane with much trepidations
these days, whenever I carry a Leica with a rapidwinder.

Speaking of morons, a few weeks ago, I was travelling with a 4x5 
camera and a  security type opened a box of sheet film
while I was not looking (I was answering questions from one
of his colleagues).    The box was wrapped with rubber
bands and had a label that clearly says "light sensitive materal -
do not open".  Arrrrrggggghhhh !
