For years I've just let my film (Porta 160 and Trix 320 in 4x5 and Portra 800 and Trix 400 in 120) go through the scanners in my bags. My film holders go under the plane with my tripod and everything else. I've never had a problem. But with the new scanners, I am getting worried. I flew back from Detroit in April and noticed that the line I got in had the old scanners, but the line to the right of that had the new ones (different machine and different rules for what had to come out.) I guess I'll be taking new boxes of film and asking for hand check from now on. And all of this for an organization with a 95% failure rate for detecting threats.
