Digital BW, The Print

i found a very easy workaround to the x-ray machine problem.. (and did this
post 9/11)

hand carry your film -- (in your carryon) -- remove it from your carry on
when you go through security -- insist on a hand-check -- most of the time
they will refuse unless you have high speed film (3200 ISO) -- so throw in 2
or 3 rolls on 3200 in your film bag .. preferably at the top --

this worked when traveling from LAX to El Salvador .. and from SFO to El
Salvador
