My experience has almost always been that, when transferring to a
connecting flight, the transfer is made behind the security perimeter. You
don't have to be re-scanned to make a connection. The only exception I have
ever encountered is when forced to collect baggage and re-check-in at the
ticket counter, such as when flying Southwest from Salt Lake City to Dallas.
I just put my film in my hand baggage and don't worry about it. I've never
had any fogged. I did request (and get, amazingly enough) a hand check of
some Kodak 3200 speed film at DeGaulle Airport in Paris.
