I have been shipping film ahead of time to a local mailbox plus or similar
store. The acceptance charge is usually very reasonable. I also call them
ahead of time to discuss what I need to do.

Did you put the leadlined bags in your checked baggage? I've been told that
they just zap it more if they can't penetrate.
Listmembers,
On a recent flight to Orlando, I made the decision not to bring the photo
equipment. This turned out to be a good thing, as my wife and I were subjects
of a two-hour wait for the security check. It did pain me not to bring my
equipment, but it did offer me an opportuinity I did
I had a flight last September (shortly after 9-11), and found it easiest to
run the (unloaded) cameras in their bag through the x-ray, but to ask them to
hand-check the film. They weren't happy about it - they tried to tell me that
their x-ray machines were safe for any film speeds up to
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned using the lead shielded film bags
for airline travel. I went to France in Nov. and carried 4x5 HP5+ and TMax
100 120mm film. No hassle whatever and no ill effects to the film either
way.
Sally, if you're in France in July see the following
Hello all,
I'm going to France in a couple weeks and taking lots of film. What
I've read to do is unwrap each roll of film as much as possible - ie,
take it out of the little cardboard box or plastic canister - and put
the film a clear plastic baggie. Then take it out of your carry-on

Hi folks,
I will be taking vacation to Utah in June, and will
be shooting some
The last time I flew, I had some 120 tri-x which I
forgot was in my hand luggage -- it went through the
carry-on screening machine and got a pretty heavy fog
(e.g. increased base density) all over the strip of
film (both exposed and unexposed parts). I don't
think I'll bother to develop the roll

BW film would be more or less susceptible to xray devices?
Actually, color film and black and white film are pretty much the same. The
only real difference is that color

What does the x-ray damage look like?

Hi Jeff:
Learn from my recent
Jeff - I can't speak to the technical aspects of this but I have never
trusted these machines. Whenever I travel I ask the insprectors to hand
check my camera bag by simpley telling them I have cameras and film in
the pack. I have never had a problem. The most I have gotten is a
