Re: Off-topic yet again Was: X-RAY altert at GATWICK

[Charles Tait <charles.tait@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My worst experience to date was at Aberdeen with my Rotocamera.  The
guys literally wanted me to strip it down.  Luckily they could not find
a suitable Allen key.  I felt really sorry for the girl with a bag full
of electronic bite who was following me in the queue.

X-rays are only off topic for those folk who never take undeveloped
films though airports.  I have found that mostly the people are OK,
except for the "jobsworth" types who typify Britain.  Most other places
people seem to be fine.  Why do us Brits have to employ such people in
these jobs?
