When I left New Orleans, my camera bag caused no commotion at New Orleans airport. When leaving Santa Fe, they pulled both of my bags off of the conveyor belt and took them a short distance away. I finally got them back about 15 minutes later. No problem, I thought. After all, most of the film is 100 ISO. I just developed six rolls in fresh developer (prescysol) and PF alkaline fixer. All five rolls from Santa Fe are fogged beyond recognition. The sixth roll (from before my trip) is fine. I don't know what they did to my bag in Santa Fe, but all rolls are very low contrast mud. That is it for film + airports for me. From now on, I will only travel with digital cameras. Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com http://400tx.blogspot.com/
