I take my film out of canisters; put it in plastic bags and then insert the plastic bags in the new, fabric lead-lined bags. Sometimes they let me carry it through (after looking at it) and sometimes they pass it through X-Ray. My highest speed film has been 800 and I've not (so far) had any difficulties at all. Boston, where we take off from, is really tough and I consider myself lucky that we've had no problems.

I would NEVER send my film through my checked luggage. Good luck. Susie Newton, MA
