Wrong. You don't know what you are talking about. Don't spread rumors
that are not true.
To everybody else, never put film in check-in bagage. The x-ray
machines for carry-on luagage for almost all countries in the world are
film-save except for very high-speed film or many times of scanning. In
most countries you can ask for hand-inspection although the laws don't
mandate it (put it in clear zip-lockers, out of the canister or in
transparent canisters). Also, the x-ray machines used for the carry-on
laguage expose the film evenly while the CT-machines don't. Therefore,
it is much harder to detect any problem with the 'regular' x-rays then
the one's from the CT scanners. Also, the later ones work in a quite
different way then the 'regular' x-rays which is why they are more
dangerous to film.
