raygun shielding

[grad 96 <cbarnett@eciad.bc.ca>]

not being an authority on the uses of X-Ray technology, I have no idea 
how useful tinfoil or gold lamme would be for shielding. As a 
professional photographer, I do know that one can purchase lead lied bags 
to protectect one's film from being ruined by the X-Ray machines at the 
airport. They do not work. When the customs people come to an object in 
your bag that they can not see into, they turn up the power until they 
can. I have ruined film and customs officer testimony to back this up, 
that's why I have them do a visual inspection of my film. If you have a 
lot, they don't look very hard, which has it's own bundle of opportunity 
right there. Not that I am advocating that kind of behavior.
