Greg,

Thanks so much for your reply. I feel better, I'm sure he will too. He also has a Nikon.

We may consider shipping the exposed film back to my office with the laptop, since it will probably cost a fortune to develop it in Hawaii.

Again thanks much!

Mary

Your attitude will go a long way in what you can expect I believe, they have plenty of hassles and don't mind dishing out some. I don't think you will have a problem, they will not disassemble the camera but I have been asked to remove the lens for them from time to time way before the 11th. No security guard has ever attempted to do so themselves, I wouldn't worry about that.

What I did want to reply to was the concept of sending the film back. Make sure it's in a lead bag if you are mailing it, or ask to be sure it doesn't get the irradiation treatment they are finding is fairly useless against what they are trying to kill.

There are security hassles, but if you are willing to cooperate with them and don't get upset all will be fine. You will not be the first person with a camera and film they have seen since the 11th.

One good thing about Newark - Security was quick a few weeks ago and the lines not bad at all, but check in was a nightmare, so if you don't have status to get in the shorter line leave plenty of time. I was at United's counter.
