While I see why they do it, I think that this is a ludicrous requirement. "When did I buy that shirt or this pair of pants?" "Where's my receipt for the laptop charger?" And taking pictures of each item before a trip? Most of us here travel too much to do that. Although- if we just took pics of all the stuff we travel with and keep them on file...then just list what goes on each trip, we'll have the pics on disk. Yeah, it's a stupid requirement, but it's the only way that they'll accept.

Cheers.
