Surpised this is not in the archives as it has indeed been discussed frequently - there must surely ber something under 'X-rays'? Anyhow widen the subject from just "US" to the fact that ALL CHECKED baggage is liable to high dosage X-radiation at airports throughout the world. Really anyone who packs film in their hold baggage is likely to be a very unhappy bunny and one should never do it. Full marks for Virgin Atlantic for giving a formal warning but just becasue they only mention the US don't think it does not happen elsewhere: it does and BAA have for some time acknowledged the fact that their hold baggage X-ray machines can damage film. Yet another reason for going digital!
