In film days, I hated having my films put through the scanner. You used to be able to have them hand checked, but after about 2001 they would refuse to do that.
Most of the time they can still be persuaded, though I've mostly given up in favour of tracking how many X-ray passes each roll's had. It's been nearly ten years now and I'm yet to notice any distinct ill effect on rolls that have had up to a dozen passes, and some beyond that.In film days, I hated having my films put through the scanner.

No idea actually - you may be right. Not sure if “I forgot it was in my suitcase from months ago” counts as a good reason..!Can't see why a machete would be illegal. You can buy one here and carry it if you have good reason.
It’s not wise to import a machete without declaring it. It’s an offensive weapon in most circumstances.Can't see why a machete would be illegal. You can buy one here and carry it if you have good reason.
At least this shows the explosives detectors are at least somewhat effective, unlike those ones someone sold to Iraq.A friend of mine was detained for some hours in Norway.
Her mobile phone had traces of explosives on it.
After many hours of interrogation, her husband (in England) explained that he loaded ammunition for competition shooting on the same workbench that the mobile phone charger was on.
She was less than happy!!

T keys are also used on the fire and sound instalation modules around diesel generators in the maritime offshore and other industries, for some reason they seem to attract the attention of airport security wherever you pack them. In the end I decided the best place was on a key ring as you could just explain what it was.Think the other time I had issues at Gatwick was trying to explain to the security staff what a T Key was for as they were under the impression it was a weapon of some kind (I forgot it was in my bag as it was a spare I used for work), I even asked them if I wasn't allowed it on my person to allow me to collect it as I was coming though the airport later that evening. In the end, common sense prevailed and I was allowed to leave it in my carry on.
But every airport is different...

Haha, I just remembered that Iraq case. Amazing how these snake oil scams can happen with big clients in the 21st century.At least this shows the explosives detectors are at least somewhat effective, unlike those ones someone sold to Iraq.
