I have flown in and out of SFO numerous times with unexposed and exposed film, including after the 9/11. The last time was in March, and I carried a bunch of Kodak Portra 400NC. I had no fogging problems at all. I'm pretty sure that as recently as March the SFO security gates were still using their same old equipment to screen carry-on baggage.
Is there any possibility that he checked the film? Also, I think that APS cartridges are plastic while 35mm canisters are generally metal. Finally, the magnetic information on APS film can include instructions intended for the minilab machinery. Maybe some data field got corrupted and made the machine do odd things with the film? --Mark - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
