Not quite related; but I think one of the reason I went with a smaller camera was to avoid this issue <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Mind you I think security in Europe is much better (not so much more or less thorough but less invasive) but in the usa really bad things happen (some of the time) when you check luggage. This one is understandable (sort of) but not so negative as some of the others I hear but when my parents received a new mobile as a gift and checked it in their luggage; all the strings were cut when they arrived home <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
