I had a TSA agent rip open my factory sealed boxes of 120 film, then rip open the factory sealed foil pack on the inside.
When I saw what she was doing, I yelled at her to STOP, because her next step was going to be to unroll the film, to make sure it was film
That was the last straw, I went digital when I traveled after that.
I don't want to imagine what she would have done with a box of 4x5 sheet film
A few times over many years I have told a TSA inspector to stop and they immediately did. I always got good cooperation after that. One Canadian inspector got rough with a lens but when I said that is was worth more than one month of her salary, she handed the lens back to me and backed off. These are all very rare problems.
