Mark,

Not true, at least in the Western world hand luggage scanners are safe 
for film. I have in my home and office several A3 sized prints shot on 
1600 film (Neopan) which had been through multiple scans, back when I 
was commuting to Spain in 2004. Sometimes the same roll would be through 
the scanner at Schiphol, then in Madrid to get on the high-speed train, 
then in Sevilla for the return trip to Madrid, then at Madrid airport 
for the trip home etc.--never a problem. Never. Of course not all images 
were enlarged to such sizes, but all the ones that are on my web site 
were looked at in Photoshop at 100% (when removing dust spots) and I 
never saw any ill effects of the airports.

The only ruined rolls of film I have ever experienced were due to 
operator error (i.e. me opening the camera before rewinding the film...)
