Re: Tank bag contents

Film and cameras are ok, unless it is a Sony digital camera that uses
floppy disks.

Watch out for your credit cards though even when there in your wallet. On a
trip through the mid-west a few years ago I borrowed a magnetic tank bag. I
was carrying it one day in Chicago slung over my back and that put it close
enough to my wallet to wipe out all my credit and ATM cards. Major
inconvenience when you're 2000 miles away from home. Clerks can always
punch in the number on credit cards, but I had been relying on the ATM card
for cash and I didn't have any travelers checks with me. Now I get at least
$100 in traveler's checks for a trip and save them for any emergencies.
