Having read the entire FAA regulations, I will point out that the
regulations have ALWAYS allowed for immediate suspension of the film check
provision. The right to suspend is not in any way connected to
9/11. Unfortunately, many people have assumed from a variety of
paraphrased accounts of the regulations that they had an absolute right,
but this is what happens when people don't bother to really understand the
laws.
I'm not sure what this has to do with film scanners, however...
