I recently traveled to Italy. I took along 3 rolls of ISO 100 slide film (shot mainly digital, but wanted slides, too) that were scanned several times at certain museums, and, of course at airports. I kept the film in my camera bag that I had with me all of the time. The slides looked normal after I processed it.
