 when I insisted on hand inspection (clear baggy out of boxes) the security

 inspected (caps removed etc etc) every lens, body, accessory etc - added
 10-15 mins to security check. YMMV.

Hi Barry,
             I have just returned from a trip to Southerm Africa. I managed 
hand inspection in all US locations and South Africa but my film was forced 
through the scanner in Namibia and I was lectured to in Zimbabwe and Atlanta 
on what a favour they were doing me. My wife had to keep taking pictures of 
security guards to prove she was not hiding anything in her p/s.  It seems 
many guards know that 3200ASA film should not go through so the idea of 
taking a few empty cassettes of Delta3200 is probably the easiest way to 
reduce confrontation. Some places insisted on opening sealed boxes of film 
others only opened unsealed boxes of film! So by the end of the trip all 
unopend film boxes had been opened

                  Regards,
                 Tim Hughes
