I have NEVER had any hint of fogging on any of my rolls, even after several inspections. I never attempt to have it hand inspected, most airports over here refuse it anyway, and besides I usually show up at security 1/2 hour before my flight and have no time for fussing. Just do not put it into your checked luggage. As for processing, if you have a lab back home that you know and trust, just take your exposed films back with you and have them processed there. Why take chances with a lab that you are not familiar with? Again, the hand luggage x-rays at Charles de Gaulle airport will NOT damage your exposed film. Nathan "Robert G.
