Hehehehe and Thanks I got it.
Will bring a 400mm and TC1.7 inside my pocket nobody would know. Don't think the RP/MP are so smart.
YMMV
Thanks for the tip off :bsmilie:
Anyway i spoke to the base RSM incharge of the security for the air show. He mentioned tha checks this time will be strict for some recent cases of security threats. Here's how it goes.
1: u'll need to walk through a metal detector ( there will be a max amt of "metal" u can have on u before it triggers the beep)
2: u're required to place ur pocket items in a small basket before u walk through the detector.
3: in the event the machine beeps, u'll be manually searched with a hand held metal detector.
4: they have the right to ask u to open ur handbag and components but not rummage thru your things.
5: have the right to refuse entry.
6: all bags will need to pass thru the X-ray belt. ( which is not the typical ones used. they will stop the bag in the middle and make a decisive check)
7: gear bags will/may be asked to open for inspection.
8: during the show if u have a "suspicious" looking lens u might be asked to "follow them"
I next asked. what will happen if lets say someone used a TC on say a 400mm lens to make it 600 or any lenght more then 500mm. He said. " We don't want to be extremely unfriendly and refuse entry, but we will safe keep the object for them for the duration of the airshow and still allow entry, but in cases of un co operative attitudes, we will not allow them entry."
Hope this is good info for you guys. Security tests and checks have been going on recently to test the RPs and Mps. anyway the new choppers dun fly that high. seen them practising for the show lately.
Cheers.
