Jim,
Aside from the implications of the recent security issue (which is not
something I have currently experienced), if impact damage is a concern, putting
your TLR (assuming of course Rolleiflex+lensboard=TLR) in a Rollei metal
tropical case would offer substantial protection whilst in your luggage in the
hold. The added weight would be small.
I think I would be concerned that some items might not arrive at their intended
destination. For items of 'sentimental' value, this would cause a certain
amount of distress. In current times I would not like to travel, with expensive
camera equipment or other items, by air. I am sure that many people find
themselves with that dilemma.
John

Subject: [rollei_list] Problems with Airport Security??
I know that similar topics have been dealt with before, but since the "liquid
explosive" thing in England (with the corresponding tightening of security), I
was wondering if anyone has been hassled about their camera, film, etc. I have
had security ask on several different occasions to see the inside of my
Rolleiflex, and even once that I "turn it on." I ask because I am flying to
the States again, and have no desire to have to leave my camera with them. I
would put the camera in my luggage, but the handlers are too rough, and would
probably move the lensboard out of alignment or something of the sort. So, has
anyone had problems with airport security (especially in the U.S.) as of late?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
