Airport screening report
Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2002 8:29 pm
Some time ago I had posted asking if people had any trouble avoiding
having their remedies x-rayed going through airport security. Some
people did say that they had discerned no effect in the remedies when
they were x-rayed. But I have long avoided x-raying my films, despite
all the signs on the machines claiming to be film safe, and skepticism
about the safety of multiple exposures to x-ray is a hard habit to
break.
At any rate, I just returned from Asia and had no trouble getting my
remedies (both dry and alcohol) hand-inspected. I did have a
preprinted card in several languages (from Minimum Price Books)
explaining about homeopathic remedies. I went through Seattle,
Vancouver, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Lahore, Pakistan. Twice. No one gave
me a hard time, but I did not ask IF I could have them hand inspected
-- I simply stated that they MUST be, and so they were.
Just as an aside, it was invigorating to see how strong homeopathy is
in Pakistan. Here in the west, we are almost guerrilas, but there
there are many thriving homeophamacies and more than half the people I
know there are being treated homeopathically.
