I'm not sure about what happens if it is shipped by a shipping company, I've been told there are companies that won't x-ray items - especially if it is shipped on a cargo/non passenger plane. If traveling with you - DO NOT EVER check film anymore, only hand carry. Within the U.S you can insist on a hand inspection, and the security must supply you with a room (I always bring a changing bag.) Unless the rules have changed. The Checked baggage x-ray machines are very very powerful and no film is safe. However I ran some still film through the carry on x-ray many times and had no issues, but this was a few years ago. Don't believe anyone from the TSA, they are goons. I actually had one tell me that walking with film through the metal detector had destroyed my film. -- Steven Gladstone New York Based Cinematographer Gladstone films Blog - http://indiekicker.reelgrok.com/ http://www.blakehousemovie.com http://www.gladstonefilms.com 917-886-5858 _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
