Don't be a fool like me

Sorry about that Steve. But those of us on larger continents have no option. I'm going to a reunion in Chicago in a few weeks, I live in Tucson. It's about a 2 day drive....I'm flying of course.

What a royal pain air travel has become!

I flew recently with a bunch of 120 and 35mm film and while the postings at the airport were saying that I could have it hand checked, the TSA had me put it through the X-Ray. Their argument was that unless it is above ISO 800 you have to put them through the machine. After shooting 15 rolls or so I sent them to the lab before flying back. The film is not back from the lab as of yet but I should find out soon if it got damaged. The highest ISO was some Tri-X 400 rolls.

Tell them politely that you will be shooting the film at 800 and 1600 ISO. They will inspect it.
