Airport X-rays and film
A useful discussion on PDN about airport X-ray machines.
The consensus appears to be:
a) Process your film on location if possible (most major cities have professional labs, sometimes costing far less as well, try to contact a professional organisation for a recommendation)
b) Carry unprocessed canisters 30 rolls at a time, outside of their plastic containers, in clear Ziploc bags
c) European and American airlines are aware of the problem and should handcheck if you demonstrate you are a travelling professional. Try your luck with other countries.
d) Be professional, courteous and insistent, it will help with the above. Be aware of regulations. Showing 5x4 equipment can help. Say you are doing ‘specialist landscape photography’.
