: I have heard that the latest airport scanners can affect photographic film. Can anyone advise me of if this is correct and of what precautions to take, thank you

I was told by airport security personnel that the scanners would only affect film with an ISO of 1000 or more. Mine has gone through the scanners with no problems. I did have ISO 1000 film in the camera I was carrying and I had to dismount the lens, so they could make sure I didn't have some diabolical device hidden inside.
