Hi:

A friend of mine was travelling by air and took a duct-tape and cardboard
pinhole camera. He put his camera in a carry-on. Security was very
suspicous and asked him what is was. When he said it was a camera they
didn't seem to believe him and asked him to open it up.

He was so nervous about using it afterwards that he didn't use it much.
he didn't want to leave a suspicous box out in public.
