I have *major* hassel normally at ORD T5 when i'm traveling back with film... almost if they just want to X-Ray ... Normally, i use a clear plastic bag for film so they can see what it is.

Although I shoot comparitivly normal slide film or Neopan, I shoot mainly with 120 film when abroard (I just prefer the larger negative), and I get "Its fine to go through sir" (not by the time I get to ORD and its time to go home... and its been through a few times at Manchester or IAD).

(although the advice to get the film processed locally is a bit of a no-no for me... I haven't got a a US permenant address...)

I'll be taking the guidlines with me next time... although to minimise my chances, I'll try and find film shops in ORD and near IAD that stock 120 Slide film...
