    No need to smuggle film through the metal detector. The friendly TSA personnel always hand-inspect my film boxes. Even open boxes marked "Exposed, undeveloped film. Open only in total darkness" just get a swab test.

    And, like Deniz above, I have had film (TXP and TMY) scanned multiple times while traveling in Europe with no ill effects.

    Best,

    Doremus

    A lot has changed with TSA in the past decade, but your advise is sound... if only the early posters were still around to read it.

    They're still around... just unable to access the 'net.

    That will change upon their release, in another ten years or so.

    If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
