Tonight I got to thinking - well it’s more early morning 12:30 am EDST. I’m going to visit a a buddy of mine who lives in New Mexico to take a much needed photo vacation in the beginning of August. Its been years since I’ve travel by airlines with the hole having to have your film hand checked through security thing, or is that a thing of the past?. For several years now I have traveled by car to vacation spots and this has not been an issue for me.
I have read in past post that some of you have had horror stories with airport security.
So my question are: what will I face at the airport checkin these days? Is it safe to put your film through those X-ray machine? Is it safe to have your film hand check? or will I find my Ready-Quick loads all taken apart before I can get my shoes back on? Or should I just ship my film to my friends house ahead of time? What about Shipping film - will they blast it so bad that with their security x-ray machines that it will be useless anyway?
So to all you world travelers out there WHAT WOULD DO?
Thanks
