I knew. This is what I have been writing on the list for years. 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.
