A year ago I went to Vancouver (from Ottawa) to visit a friend, and I took along all of my camer equipment I had at that time (Spotmatic II, K1000, flash, and a bunch of lenses). It was heavy (everything was metal), but to insure that I wouldn't be wasting my film (I took ISO 200 along for the ride), I only took one roll along with me to Vancouver.
I wound up with some neat pictures from 39000 feet, and the film survived just fine.
On the leg back from Vancouver, I had several rolls of ISO 200 film, and they survived just fine. But I had some small complications... I keep my Nintendo DS in a metal case, and for some reason the X-ray machine didn't penetrate it (but it did give me wonderful pictures of the innards of my lenses), and I was asked what it was. The officer was quite amused.
The security personel told me that the X-ray machines were safe up to ISO 1600. But honestly, I'm not even going to tempt fate.
