They are fast and effect and work together. Mind you I didnt like being flaged for a search but better safe than sorry should someone dangerous get thought. I had to take so much off , empty my purse . They too my camera and were so gentle on both sides. I was grateful yet when I crossed the boarders from Mexico in to the Us and then home to Canada once back on our Soil..I cried. I wrote you a blog and I love love your images her.
