Rarely if ever do hand bag scanners screw film. Ted: While the X-ray machines at major airports are likely OK, I have had film fogged by "hand bag scannerss" in third world countries. I make sure to have my film had inspected at every security gate - but am often hassled by the staff who'd rather just x-ray the stuff it's easier. So, my question is... has anybody had experience with the so-called film-safe bags? Do they actually offer worthwhile protection? - ---------- David Young, | Chocolate... it isn''t Victoria, CANADA | just for breakfast, anymore!
