Airport Security

Is there any information on the effect of the new
airport security rules on traveling amateur
photographers? We will be traveling USA to
Eastern Europe and back with film cameras and
tripods, which in the past we carried on.

o In the USA, can film still be hand inspected?
o Is there any restriction on carry-on equipment?
o Is there any restriction on batteries?
o Are there any relevant published documents?
o Anything else?

Thanks for your help.
Mike.

I noticed the prohibition against carrying golf clubs on the plane.
This makes sense at first. However, a friend of mine who is in his
80's broke his walking cane so I made him a custom made walking stick
out of an old Walter Hagen pitching wedge. It was the perfect length
for him and the clubhead fit his hand perfectly. It even had the
regular rubber grip on it. He loves his new walking stick and takes it
everywhere he goes. Up until he tried to board a plane with it, that
is. They wouldn't let him bring it on the plane. I guess they were
worried that he might get a little chipping practice in during the
flight.
