[Leica] Extra photo bag on the plane

Mark,

This is pretty funny, but I rather imagine that Steed would get a really
good going-over! :-)

Travel gear consists of a Barbour jacket and maybe a Camel Trophy
vest and flat cap or baseball cap with a collared check shirt and decent
boots or shoes. I'm an ex-Naval Officer and not very imposing, but I think
they pick up the vibes. Whatever works..., and this definitely has worked
for me.

Have to fly in and out of Ottawa next week. Don't ask! Anyone have any
idea what I can expect there?

William

P.S. I'm clean-shaven and my hair is very tidy. No reason to ask for
         trouble! :-) Usually carry three M's and five or six lenses in a 
Fogg
         satchel.
