Re: FW: OT, x-ray protection question?

2002-07-23 by thinh360

Put the films in hand-carry on bags and for extra protection, put 
them in lead bags called FilmShield that are sold in most camera 
stores.
If you must put them in checked-in bags, double or tripple up the 
FilmShield bags. Unprotected films in checked-in bags might be 
severely damaged as they are scanned by high powered machines.
