Our staff photographer, Elizabeth Lavin, is on assignment in Honduras (you’ll have to wait to find out why). But she almost didn’t get there. She writes:
Had some trouble this morning. TSA held me for about 25 minutes in Dallas. My studio lights that I am traveling with apparently look like “textbook” bombs. A TSA woman even told me she was scared because they looked like the bombs in the training videos. That just made me super paranoid through customs here in Honduras. When I tried to explain to the non-English-speaking security man that they were not dangerous, he just looked confused.

Same thing happened to us in China and Mexico last year traveling with HD production gear. It’s scary to be detained by the Chinese military…
Try flying in and out of Colombia with a baggy of Cremora. (File THAT one under ‘what the hell was he thinking’.) At least that strip search was in a moderate climate.
Um, that’s what you get for using Cremora.
