Digital BW, The Print

Yeah Jerry, but they won't let you on the plane! You have no right to have a
hand inspection - although you can ask, and I do every time -  so you have a
choice, check it in - which is crazy - or have it scanned in your
handluggage. The recent tests done by the BJP (BritishJournalof Photography)
show it is ok - all euro scanners are the same strength and guaranteed top
be ok up to iso1600. Since sept 11 it is even worse. My last trip from Spain
to UK my camera bag went through 2 scanners, sniffed by dogs, and a random
search. It took me an hour having checked in, just to get through security.
