[Frameworks] getting through airport x-ray

[olivia ciummo]

Hello Peter,

Counties in the EU and Asia (not sure where you are going) ask that you
write a letter of request to the director of security at the airport. This
is what was told to me in France, Portugal, Japan and others. I never took
part in it and just let the film pass through the xrays. The US, has been
the only country that would let me have the cans "swabbed" so to avoid
xray. Might be best just to mail it.

good luck,olivia
