I have a small pair of folding reading spectacles that i keep in my trouser pocket. Since they are quite delicate and easily damaged i wish to keep them in a small tin when i am travelling. Being a metal container ( steel) would this be a cause of yet another holdup and yet more checking out at the airport scanners, if they cannot see what they are. Or will they easily be seen as spectacles? Otherwise i will go for a small plastic box container.

Why not just take the tin out of your pocket and have it ready to hand to them to have a look at as you go through the scanner? -- Darryl Gibbs Vintage and Warbirds. http://www.vintageandwarbirds.com "Aircraft of Australia" hosted by the CNAPG at HTTP://www.cnapg.org Information on all aspects of aviation, particularly vintage and warbirds.
