Re: Realist and airport security

Since 1988 I have been traveling almost once a year to Europe, which
includes flights from Chicago to Copenhagen and from there to Athens. 
I carry the Realist in a hand bag and never anyone asked about it.
Film appears to be totally unaffected by frequent x-ray checks.

More drachmas follow:

Try a shot inside the plane of the plane interior.  Try Realist shots out
of the window and SLR hyperstereos of clouds and/or land.  Take pictures
inside the airport.  And, my favorite, pictures of HUGE airplanes with
their noses sticking out of the window.  Just be careful of reflections
in the windows.

Best of luck!  -- George
