This new machine for checked baggage does two scans.. The first one sweeps on an overall basis and if there is anything it doesn't see through it makes a second scan and hammers the daylights out of it until it goes through the unidentifiable item or it's decided to have the bags opened! So it could be just a waste of time and still have your film fried alive or you having to open your bags for hand inspection efore they are loaded on the plane.. I suggest if you are taking several hundreds of rolls and you want it checked, take it early to the airline and have whatever it is they are doing to check and clear packages of this nature for flight clearance. ted
