I kept all my cameras empty of film, and in the carry-on luggage, so as to
keep things as simple and hassle free as possible. One girl in the Toronto
airport took out all my cameras, flash units, and even examined my mini-mag
flashlight. I helped her and then thanked her sincerely for her diligence in
protecting my safety. I then thanked her for her smile, and said to her,
"Your smile has made my day, after having been up travelling for over 40
hours." I thought she was going to break out in tears, as she then briefly
shared the hassles and rudeness she constantly faces in her job.

I thought it was interesting though that one member of our team reported
that they didn't catch and confiscate his swiss army knife in his carry-on
until the second leg of the trip. He was from southern Ontario area, and
they missed it in the airport in Detroit where he began his flight.
