I then put the bag on one of the little trays for metal objects and hand it to the security person as if this was what everybody does-it works almost every time in US airports. I've found that if you act like you know what you're doing, you can get away with almost anything. That and smile a lot! On the other hand, the couple of times I was running late and just ran the film through the scanner, I had no problems. I shoot black and white mainly Tri-x, and have never had any fogging. It could be that x rays are a nonproblem that only looks like a problem. Have a good trip, Richard Wasserman
