Not likely, if this was hand checked bags you are talking about. The biggest danger to-day is checked baggage where many of the airports are using the new "5000" scanners that will from all reports, make a mess out of film...exposed or not! Recommendation of the day! Going anywhere in the world, carry all film as on board baggage and don't take a chance anywhere as at the moment it seems no one has a fix at which airports the mega film brner scanners are installed. Rarely if ever do hand bag scanners screw film. ted Victoria, Canada
