It's been about 5 years since I traveled w/film. Usually had no trouble
with hand checking - Take the film out of the boxes and put all the
rolls together in a clear ziplok bag and politely ask for hand checking.
I'd usually throw a roll or two of the highest ISO I could find as a
reason for not running it through the x-ray.

Well, seems almost certain a trip of yours trully around part of the US
between april and may '09. Here in Brasil I don't have much trouble with
hand inspection of my films - only lost six unexposed rolls so far, in a
single event.
But I wonder if this is still possible in the US - my latest experience
there came fairly ok in may, '01. Still have a small film shield, but
lately I just carry my 6pack of Fuji as I walk under the metal detector
and ask it to be hand checked.
I can travel without film if needed, but would rather have some with me
all the time. Still remember the most suspicious way some security party
regarded my gossen lightmeter once...
Comments? Ideas? Thanks!!
