Q. What precautions should I take with airport X-rays?

A. Carry the film stock as hand luggage. Most, if not all of the newer hand luggage x-ray machines use weak x-ray radiation and it should not affect the film. But if you check your film in as hold luggage, the x-ray machine is likely to be stronger and may well cause some fogging to unexposed or exposed but unprocessed film. Your best option would be to use a commercial carrier to send the film (with a 'DO NOT XRAY' sticker) rather than take it through the airport. If you have to take it through the airport, avoid the x-ray by showing the cans to security and explaining.
* As you are aware, since the tragic events of September 11th, airport security procedures have been upgraded. We advise you not to carry unexposed or unprocessed film through airports but to mail stock with a commercial carrier. When this is unavoidable we suggest you take a changing bag with you and request hand inspection by security officials. You should arrive at the airport as early as possible to allow for delays.
