FedEx does not x-ray package and I have sent to a location film in advance,
notifying the hotel/motel to expect the package, and sending to the lab the
exposed film.  Two things accomplished, first one less thing to keep-up with
the film is on location safe and not zapped and secondly, the
return/processed film lets me know if all is working.  the latter only works
if you are on a shoot longer than a couple of days (those days are mostly in
the past).

Happy snaps,
