Seems to me you could have saved yourself a headache if you just asked what the machine would do to your film.
<buzzer> Wrong, so wrong. I have had slow speed films(velvia, Tmax 100, and the like) damaged by hand baggage x-ray machines, in some cases in just one pass. These films where fresh from the factory and had years before expiration dates. That does even count the number of rolls that were intentionally destroyed by TSA.

Overseas i havent had as many issues, normally the x-ray info from KodaK or Fuji has stopped alot of the problems
