Coming back from Orlando a few years ago, my wife had a plastic bag with US coins in to hand in on the plane for charity. It showed up as a solid lump. We had all our hand baggage tipped out, I had the PoweBook swabbed for explosives, cameras, everything. Putting the coins in the bag in a tray would have avoided all of that and saved us time and them money. Give these people every opportunity to do their jib efficiently, and everyone is better off.

 

'Struth. These days I wear my jungle-hell photo vest through the airport (even if I never use it when I'm shooting) and stuff every bit of metal I'm carrying into its pockets before security. The vest goes through the scanner and I usually get through the metal detectors without a hassle (except for last week at Heathrow, when the metal zipper of my pants must have set it off, and I wound up getting thoroughly frisked---they don't even bother with the hand-held metal detectors there any more).
