Perhaps we could try to educate them?
I see the need for a web page explaining how to recognize unusual types of
photographic film.
It would include:
Color pictures of boxes of the major brands of sheet film.
Color pictures of 120/220 film in boxes, wrappers and on the spool.
Pictures of film holders.
Textural descriptions of each item.
The reasons why we are so persnickety about X-raying these items.
Anyway, once the site is set up we email every airport security office we can
find and request they lookup the site.
