X-rays and Film

I have not had any trouble without the bags. I just brought back 6 rolls of high speed film through european customs, and the pictures didn't seem to be affected at all. I have read that it makes no sense to use lead lined bags, since for security scanning purposes the authorities just turn up the x-ray dial to look through the bags anyway.

I've always had my cameras and film hand-checked. Even though it is said that the x-ray machines are safe, I have also heard that it is dependent upon the right calibration - and that in certain countries, the machines are older and not reliable. Boy, do I get nasty looks! But it's better than getting back and finding that a film is ruined. <BR>
