On my recent cross Canada trip I had my camera gear swabbed by the airport
security people after it had be through the x-ray machine. Unlike on previous
trips the people showed no interest in having me remove the lens or in looking
through the view finder. All they wanted to do was dab the camera case and
camera body itself with a small piece of white cloth attached to the end of 12"
wooden rod.
Any ideas whether this is a cleaning service for dirty cameras or whether
something more sinister is being probed for by the guardians of our airline
security system?
