Unless you go to 3rd world countries, hand luggage scanners will do your film no harm. When I was commuting between Amsterdam and Seville in 2003-2004, I had many rolls of Neopan 1600 that went through airport scanners at Amsterdam, Seville, Malaga or Madrid airports, plus similar scanners used in Spain before you board a high-speed train. I had rolls that had been scanned 6-8 times, and NEVER did I see any effects.
