Re: It will also apply to cameras, lenses and probably some of their accessories too...
One TSA jerk wanted me to take apart my £6000 Nikon 200-400mm F4 lens back in 2015.
After resisting the urge to use the thing as a club and batter some sense into him, I got his superior involved.
"If you can see through it and use the controls then it is fine,"
He checked and waved me through. How long before they mandate to see inside lenses etc?
