I got tickets to a supershow in december and i just bought a new SLR camera for this specific event but people have been telling me that security doesnt allow SLR's. I know they dont allow video recording but not allowing SLR's sounds stupid. Anyone know for sure what their policy is?
Answer
When we went to ECW/SD tour in Newcastle, Australia, there was an announcement before the show started encouraging us to take as many pics as we liked of our favourite superstars, but forbidding us to do videos.
They didnt mention any styles of camera that were allowed to be used, however, I think you would need a SLR as I had a 10mp digital with a good optical zoom and still found it hard to take good pics.

35mm film and camera through airport security?
Meg
I'll be going on vacation tomorrow, and was wondering if I can take my 35mm camera and film through the security. I've heard that the x-rays ruin film. It is unexposed Ilford 100 film, and I have four rolls, one of which is actually inside of the camera now. Do I need to take it out of the camera before I go through security? Should I ask them to inspect the film by hand? Will they even do that?If not, how can I make sure the film does not get ruined? Thank you!

Wow. This type of question has been stirring hornets nest for ages... ... ... i'll give a brief summary of my conclusions
1. X-ray scans are cullmulative. The more scans, the more damage it will do.
2. Most people say; ISO 400 or under can withstand up to 5 scans before any noticable drop in quality (says kodak)
3. If you fly in the US, and have to adher to the TSA rules, you can request a hand inspection and they cannot say "no". If they do, you need to speak to someone higher up who knows the rules a bit better.
4. In you are flying through London, everything will be scanned.
5. MOST IMPORTANT: be polite about it. No need to sound like a drunken loon spouting rights and invasion of privacy. That will cause more harm than good.
Personally: I get my film hand-checked when ever I can. I arrive at the airport early so there will be no problems. I haven't had any problems in (Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia).
Some airport security has said that 400 speed film is safe for x-ray use. I've gave the following explainations, and before I could finish... ...
1) "Actually, the x-ray process is cullulmulative. The more x-rays it goes through the more likelyhood that it will damage the film. I will be traveling through multiple airports and I'm trying to minimize the exposure to the film. THe reason is because X-rays are actually light. Albiet a small amount of light. When enough light hits the film, it will ruin the film. It is like jabbing a thumb into someones throat. For the first inch there will be no noticable damage, the skin is quite plyable. But eventually when the thumb punctures through the neck, there's going to be blood everywhere. I'm just trying to minimize that margin of error officier."
2) "Actually, I plan on devloping this film myself using something called 'pushing'. Put it simply, I can develop this film as if it were rated for ASA 6400. I also have a few sheets of film that I have experiemented on. The ASA equivalent would be closer to 25000. This is accomplished by enlongating the devlopment times and it can achieve a variety of different effects that I may utilize in the future, officer"
