After a four year learning curve, I made the big plunge into LF (Wisner 4X5 Expe dition - likely the best wood field camera out there) and booked my 10 day vacat ion to San Fran/Yosemite/Wine Country.

I know there's a lot of information and opinions regarding airport x-rays and fi lm but any and all responses would be greatly appretiated. Let's suppose I'm a pro shooting a National Geographic spread on Italy. How do those guys/ladies by -pass the x-ray of their film at the international airports, especially during t hese times of terrorist bombing threats? Do they? I'd feel much more comfortab le if there's a stream of responses that assure me that my Velvia will suffer no streaking effects. Thanks to all who respond.
