"Is it ok to go through?" the armed guard asks me. "Sure, not a problem" I answered, quickly adding, with a big smile "but please catch it on the other side" We are at the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama,the birthplace of Rosa Parks.
The camera starts moving through the x-ray machine and stops on the other side. The guard asks me to put all other metal object in a container, which he puts on the belt and starts the x-ray again... The sound of the camera hitting the ground from 3 feet was not pleasant... Ooops. He was very embarrased as he handed me the camera. "Is it ok you think...?" I put the cameralight back on and said "I hope so..." The sound was the worst part, but the camera WAS ok.
