I've had my Leicas and film zapped by hand baggage scanners in about 40 countries, about half of those in the developing world, often multiple times. I've never seen a trace of fogging. Even so, my strategy is to put the film in the lead bags and let them go through the scanners. I figure that minimizes exposure. I've never had a security officer ask about the bags. I use the black fabric covered Domke ones. - --Jim From: "Ted Grant" <tedgrant@shaw.ca> > Sorrry Christopher I've been flying way to long over the years all over the > world in and out of some of the damndest places with exposed and un-exposed > film ( 200 rolls or more at times) hand bag zapped checked a zillion times, > yep and rated at ASA 800 and have never ever had film effected any time.
