Nathan, I lost about 75% of the exposures on a dozen rolls of BW400CN on a flight several years ago, and since then I take no chances. I put the film (35mm), out of the plastic canisters, in a transparent plastic ziplock baggie and ask for a hand check. I do the same with 120 film, in its foil wrappers, of course. I DO NOT put the film through the scanners. I understand that with the increase in power of many scanners, the security folks are more accustomed to being asked for hand checks on film. Have a great trip! Ken ----------------------------------- The Rev.
