Title: O'Reilly Iceland Trip
Post by: Tim Gray on July 26, 2006, 07:58:23 pm

I'm already following the posts coming from the Iceland trip - being a voyer is as close as I'll get, but I'm looking forward to all the blogging.

Further to Mikkel Aaland's "lesson one" http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blo...esson_on_1.html (http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/2006/07/the_adventure_begins_lesson_on_1.html)

he references a locking device approved in the US and by "Her Majesty"

Any experience with these?  In particular for flights not originating in the US or UK, like Iceland or Canada?

These locks are really TSA approved ([a href=\"http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/editorial_multi_image_with_table_0234.shtm]TSA page[/url]). I used to put zip ties to close my bags when traveling in the  US and TSA opened my bags a few times - So TSA-approved locks will replace zip ties. Outside the US, I close my bags with conventional locks without problem so far. Once in Iceland, I was called at the security desk and had to open my bag. They were curious about a "dense" metallic item - It was my ballhead. By the way, I would never check lenses or a camera.

I understand that Michael got sent to London instead of Reykjavik. I hope he has gotten back to Iceland by now. I can't imagine how they can stand to spend only one week there; Iceland has so much spectacular landscape!

I'm looking forward to the reports.

Second gallery is up.  (Some of MR's work is there.)  I like the horsies.  Wild wild hair.
