Diamond Beach in southern Iceland.
Chunks of ice from the Jökulsárlón Glacier stranded on the Atlantic shore
First sheet developed from my brilliant two week trip to iceland.

Very nice!
I was there last Fall but took digital because I have been spooked by all the stories of new carry on scanners blasting film on transatlantic trips. I would love to go back with film, if not from Iceland, how did you manage it?

You can hand carry and request manual inspection. Or at least you used too. I did that and it took them forever as the swabbed each film holder and each box of film. What a pain in the a**, but I took my film.

Thanks.
I contacted both Arlanda in Stockholm and Keflavik on Iceland before hand.
Keflavik had no issues with hand checking even though it took at least 15 minutes for them to swab and trace-scan each and every box. But all smiles and professional along the way.
They also had new CT scanners, so scanning there is not a good idea.
Arlanda (Stockholm) was harder to get a commitment for hand checking beforehand. Seems there is no legal ground for hand checking photographic film Sweden (as for example medical equipment and other stuff). It's all up to the acting security supervisor in place to decide.
But there are two terminals, number four and five. Terminal four still has old scanners that presumably are film safe up to ISO 800 and terminal five has new CT scanners. And even if you fly from number five you can go through security in terminal four and then transfer to five airside. And this was a tip from the security officer.
In the end I asked for a manual check in terminal four and they obliged without any questions.

Cool. I try not to fly anymore. Too much hassle and I doubt I will ever afford to travel overseas in today's insane market.
