What's your experience about those nasty airport x-ray machines and film? I'm told that anything above 400 speed is risky, but below that is fine. I don't understand how this is possible for nothing to happen to slower film when it wipes out faster film.
I just returned from Central America with a couple dozen spent rolls in my bag, and the woman in the Panama airport would not let me get my film hand checked, like I always do. She made me put it through the machine.
I am still traveling, so have yet to get any developed. Some was color ISO 800, some was B&W C-41 process ISO 400 and some was regular ISO 400 B&W.
Of course, I'll find out soon enough what happened, but I'd like to hear any information as to why it affects some and not others.
