Traveling with a camera

I was just wondering about air travel with a digital camera. I have a Nikon D70s (Compact Flash), and a Canon p&s (SD). Do I need to pull my cards and/or cameras out before the scanner? Thanks, Chris M. Ignore the swags that try to make you believe an airport scanner will damage electronic devices. My personal risk assessment is always protect what's valuable, and that changes, depending on what part of the journey the risk is encountered. My photo gear is carry-on for the outbound leg, and the used memory cards are carry-on for the return leg. Never, NEVER lay anything on the walk-through scanner belt until you're prepared to walk through the scanner - clean with no delay. The preferred intention here is to arrive on the other side before your carry-on stuff does, so you'll be there to collect it before someone else does. When walking through the scanner bridge, DO NOT look at the TSA person - they're not looking at you, they're watching the scanner panel - you look at your stuff instead because nobody else is. If you get stopped for a secondary hand-wand inspection, your stuff is now lying about unwatched and beyond your reach. A perfect invitation for a thief. And that's a far greater risk to loss than any scanner. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |
