Originally posted by summonbaka The best part is that I may not be going through one of that country's airport, but two! If I send the film by sea mail or by normal air mail, is there any better chances provided that it arrives in time?
These days I wouldn't be so sure that mailing is any guarantee against x-ray.
I never fly, but I do have to be very careful to always remove film and film cameras from my truck when I have to go through the Customs x-ray device:
Pentax ME
Cosina MF 20/3.8
DNP Centuria 200
Any x-rays strong enough to penetrate two walls of Corten steel and 2.5 meters of whatever happens to be in between them would likely not do my film any good, I think.
The yellow thing is not the x-ray doohickey, by the way. That is merely a device for hauling trucks into the massive x-ray chamber.
