Yes, those days are over. But here's something that will make you cringe or smile... On a trip back from S.Africa, I forgot that I had packed all of my slide film in my checked baggage. I had checked all my bags and then suddenly remembered what a stupid thing I did. I ran back to the South African Airlines desk and explained. This wonderful lady took me down into the bowels of the baggage conveyor system to spot my bag as it was moving through the system. We grabbed the bag and removed the film. Can't get that kind of excitement with digital.
