They will crank up the output of the x-ray machine to expose what is in the lead bags thereby really ruining your film. I hand the film in transparent film canisters to the attendant when checking my carry-on luggage. I place the film in Velvia canisters grouped in a gallon or half gallon zip bags to make this inspection process faster. Hope that this helps. Paul T. Collura
