Just thought I'd alert everyone that on a recent flight to Napoli from JFK, I had a connecting flight in Dublin and still had to pass through security there which included metal detectors and new x-ray machines. Despite all of my protests and proving that I was a professional photographer, they insisted that I would have to either have my film scanned or miss my flight and and not be eligible for a refund. I was assured that ISO 400 film would be safe though I had numerous rolls of 3200. They scanned all 55 rolls. Have just received the film back and for only the second time since 9/11, I have a batch of film with fogging and patterns from the x-rays. Furious. Their policy is that nothing will be hand checked and that all film including motion picture film reels will be x-rayed. Just a warning.
