This is also true for Toronto when one flies into Toronto on an
international flight, including US flight, and switches to a domestic
Canadian flight or when one flies in on a US flight and switches to an
international flight to Asia, Europe, or elsewhere and/or visa versa. You
not only have to pick up your bags and go through customs; but immigration
and customs is located outside the security perimeter of all the different
terminals so that merely switching terminals results in having to go through
security.

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.
