filmscanners: RE: film scanners: X-ray scanners/etc



Judging from your comments, the warnings Kodak and Fuji have on their
websites and Jack Phipps' nightmare with taking film on board, I believe I
will buy and process film in Europe because I'm there long enough.

On a tangent, here's some info from Kodak's web site about mailing film
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/aboutKodak/sanitize.shtml which appears to
be safe. Interestingly Fuji states that mailing film via the USPS may be
worse than x-ray scanning film at the airport.

Thank you for the tips everyone.

No, the lead lined bags are not good enough any longer for checked luggage.
Many airports (and they won't say which) are now equipped with much more
powerful X-Rays than they used to use. They WILL damage film, especially
high speed film.

| I just got back from NYC in early November. They would not let me have my
film hand inspected. I begged, pleaded and threatened. The only time I could
get it hand inspected was at La Guardia. I had about 15 rolls out of boxes
in a zip lock. The took each canister out and swabbed it, about 1-2 minutes
for each. Thirty minutes later, I left with my film. My film went through
three different x-ray machines. When I changed planes in Kansas City, I had
to go through security again.
