Re the letter “Valuables Put in Peril,” about losing sight of items going through the airport x-ray. . . Your passport, the majority of your money, all your credit cards, I.D., tickets, etc., should never ever be in a coat, pants pocket or purse. If you have it in your hands in Frankfurt or almost any airport, it is going through the x-ray machine.
Keep frequently needed things in a neck pouch inside your shirt. The rest of your valuables belong in a money belt inside your pants, kilt, skirt or dress.
