Re: Airline inspections

Well this is the story,

I was on a trip to india, i had one roll of film in my winter jacket (thick
leather no metal) It was in my deep inside pocket. Now i walked through the
machine, i set off the alarm, took out my wallet etc... put everything on
the table, but didnt realize the film canister in its plastic holder were
in the inside pocket. Went back through again and again, finally they
searched me out of my sheer frustration i took off my jacket, sweater,
basically it looked like a bad joke more than a search. Finally they found
the stupid roll of film and i got on my flight. Now this was one roll in a
plastic container in a thick leather jacket. Imagine what a box of film
would do?
Maybe its just hte nyc metal detectors, but man that thing could sense the
silver in your teeth from what i could tell.
