Italian airport security snapping up digital cameras
Apparently someone at Italy's Pescara airport is taking new talian Aviation Authority [ENAC] security measures deeming London as a "high risk" destination very seriously indeed. The local head of the airport police has implemented new security measures that require all passengers on London flights place all electronic objects in their checked luggage.

Ryanair staff is failing to inform check in passengers of this regulation; the result is that airport securitylinks staff is confiscating items after passengers have already passed through the x-ray machines their checked baggage left far behind.

As one recent traveler roprted to the Telegraph, "At Pescara airport all cameras, iPods and MP3 players were "confiscated" by security staff - even after having passed through their X-ray machine... Other British passengers "lost" a video camera, two ordinary cameras and a portable CD player. Some offered cash to "buy back" the item, but were told they would be disposed of. One woman was in tears."

If I lost all my holiday photos (not to mention my spendy electronic equipment) because of some lunkheaded optional airport security protocol, I too would be in tears. This is a photography crisis on par with having fired our photographer in the middle of our wedding. But at least we got some photos out of our trevails.
