My wife and I spent spring break in Santa Barbara, Calif. I had lived in Southern California for four years but had never visited the city -- what a great place for photography! So many interesting buildings and places to go. Minolta X7A, Minolta Celtic MD 35mm f2.8, Fujifilm 200. Unfortunately, when I got to the airport to go through security, I got distracted and let all my film go through the CT scanner! But aside from a slight fogging, which seems to show up as extra grain, the negatives are pretty good.

Back in my film days when travelling by air I kept my films in a lead-lined pouch and asked for hand inspection. Not all airport security were happy to do that.

I always hand my film to TSA for a hand check. And they've always done so without complaint -- often cheerfully! Don't know why I slipped up this time.
