If you are travelling by air with a film camera, don't forget that now
all airlines require cameras to be in checked luggage, not carried on

You can still carry cameras aboard on flights originating in the USA. The
only place in the world that restricts you are flights originating in the
UK.

As of today this restriction has been removed.

There will apparently be a few days whilst the airports
discourage it, but HMG have officially now allowed them again.

Have you ever noticed that increased restricitions take effect
instantly but when they are relaxed it "takes a few days for them to
filter into the system and for people to be trained." Odd is it not?

And in fact, sometimes it takes years and even when shown their own
web pages or memos, they refuse to believe something is permitted
onboard.
