Hi David:
Thanks for your responses copied below and GLAD to be back ;-) !
Received my CDROM's and index prints yesterday and they look "just
fine"......so far.....on the thumbnail images of the index prints. It
looks positively reassuring that the checked-in baggage X-ray machines
spared the fogging of my 5 rolls of film. Over this coming weekend, I
hope to post some shots on the web and will share link(s) on this
list.
About flying from CDG Paris to US destinations, I heard from my friend
whose mother came from CDG Aeroport this Monday that she experienced a
3-hour delay and her recount of the security regimen sounded the same
as what I saw at Heathrow, along with plastic bag only carry-on's.
Today, I had business visitors from Narita-Tokyo and they too reported
the same security regimen. This begs the question - has terrorism
already won the preliminary play-off's? I can tell you that any
finale will not be a pretty spectator sport.
It ain't Christmas yet, but here's wishing us all "Peace on Earth",
Eric Chan

I take it this was unprocessed film? If so, I hope your photos are
OK. The baggage X-ray machines used for checked luggage are easily
100x more powerful that the small scanners used at the security check
ins. They have a reputation for 100% fogging of undeveloped film in
a single pass.
Please let us know how they turn out. (And I hope the answer is "Just fine"!)

A nice idea, if you haven't already purchased non-refundable tickets
to go via England!
Cheers!
