I have in my home and office several A3 sized prints shot on 1600 film (Neopan) which had been through multiple scans, back when I was commuting to Spain in 2004. Sometimes the same roll would be through the scanner at Schiphol, then in Madrid to get on the high-speed train, then in Sevilla for the return trip to Madrid, then at Madrid airport for the trip home etc.--never a problem. Never. Of course not all images were enlarged to such sizes, but all the ones that are on my web site were looked at in Photoshop at 100% (when removing dust spots) and I never saw any ill effects of the airports. The only ruined rolls of film I have ever experienced were due to operator error (i.e. me opening the camera before rewinding the film...)
