It seems to me the question is whether the suspension of the rule is
reserved to the FAA and whether, in fact the FAA has suspended the rule as
opposed to rule being ignored by local security inspectors. I would feel a
lot better about not being able to have my film hand inspected if I could
believe there was some rational basis to the notion that having film x-rayed
somehow improved security rather than being simply a convenience for the
local security people. I believe that some local security people are using
9/11 as an excuse for a power trip and I don"t think it has to be the way I
experienced it after 9/11. Regards, Ron Carlson
