[PRODIG] US baggage screening

[Mike Russell]

Maybe this has been covered but I can't see it in archives - and it 
won't affect digitally recorded images - but for anyone out there who 
still uses film prior to scanning it (to keep it on topic...)

With my Virgin Atlantic tickets that arrived today comes a sheet 
about baggage screening at US airports. Due to the US Aviation 
Security Act all checked baggage at US airports is screened by 
'Explosive Trace Detection', some sort of catscan technology. For the 
first time I can remember it is stated:

"Equipment used for screening checked baggage <will> damage your 
undeveloped film".
