I follow one simple practice:

Tell the TSA guy up front as you walk through: "This bag has a lot of =
camera gear in it". I'd say 95% of the time I go through security they =
want to look at my camera bag. But I am up front ahead of time as well, =
so they know what is in it and there aren't any extra suspsicions. I've =
never had any harmful effects from any of the scanning, and most of the =
TSA guys are careful and considerate. I also always put my camera bag on =
the conveyor last, so that it generally hasn't been picked up to be =
searched beofre I am there waiting. That way I can monitor the search and =
make sure proper care is taken.

I've done this a bit and the only suggestion I have is to give yourself =
plenty=20
of time to get through security at all connections. The lenses don't =
look=20
good in X-ray machines and I can almost guarantee you'll be searched =
every=20
time. The X-rays don't seem to have any harmful effect on equipment =
like=20
flash cards, etc.
Have a great trip! Sounds like fun. I look forward to seeing the =
pictures.

P.S., This last week I've been super busy, but things are better now. =
I'll=20
send you the code for the cart within the next couple days.
