Re: urgent question!

Man, I used one of those lead bags (small) and they were NOT happy with me
in Rome.  They announced my name over the intercom to come and talk with the
gate person, and then asked me all these questions about my travels, didn't
even tell me that it was the bag that was suspicious...and they were very
mean to me.  I finally figured out what the problem was after they asked a
couple leading questions.  I will never again bring a lead bag in my
suitcase--thought they wouldn't let me on the plane...
     THEN, I decided to hand check the stuff next time, and they were so
rude to me there, too.  She told me she wouldn't do it, it was fine and
wouldn't be hurt by the machine.  Maybe the thing to do is to bring all your
developing stuff with you and do it in your room at night (this is what
Theresa Airey does--I know, she's not a fave of this list) and that way you
can see if there is a problem with a roll instead of shooting the whole
batch and finding out such when you get home. This seems a bit excessive,
too...
