.......................your other opinion is rather more for kopitiam. however i will bite and say, that's very naive thinking and your opinion of 'cost' and the meaning of security needs to be reviewed.
You gotta to be S**TTING ME.......
What other things are they going to restrict............????
I pray Changi Airport do not practise this.
actually, Douglas Adams wrote about this planet (in the Hitchhiker's series) where the inhabitants are so worried about erosion of the planet's resources that visitors are weighed on arrival and before departure, and any addition of weight due to waste material (ahem) is surgically removed...;pThe best is yet to come. Some day, some paranoia-schizo will require all visitors to the US to take laxatives 24 hours before the flight.
At major US airports, in addition to metal detectors, there will be sh*t detectors. "Beeeeepppp!!! Sorry Sir, it seems you're still full of sh*t. Pls kindly take a dose of TSA-approved laxatives, and reschedule your flight for another day." :bsmilie:
actually, a briefcase full of batteries should be fine as long as each of the batteries has less than 8g lithium equivalent and are packed so that they would not short circuit... or if 2 batteries are between 8g and 25g equivalent, they don't add up to more than 25g equivalent and are packed so they won't short circuit...From what I can see, casual DSLR users should be fine. Only those pros with like a briefcase full of batteries should be concerned
