One month in Indonesia, all shot on film

Great series of photos.
Just a dumb question but how did you go with airport xrays? Just asking as i havent shot film on holidays for about 10 years now so was wondering if xrays have gotten worse for film in that time.
Cheers.



+1. I'm just about to head back to the States for a couple weeks vacation and was wondering if it's worth getting a 100ft roll of Tri-X or HP5+, but aren't sure about whether or not they'd make me open up the tin (*gasp*) or force me to throw it away before boarding if I don't want them x-raying it (I routinely push to 1600).
 
re: x-rays...i carried all of my film in my carryon backpack. on the flights over there i kinda spaced out and let it go thru the security machines a few times. then i got paranoid and googled the X-ray/film issue, sounded like there was a risk in having the film go through the machines too many times so i had my film hand inspected on the flights home. threw a couple 3200 rolls in the bag as decoys to allow the hand inspection. seemed to turn out fine. i only had 400 stuff as my fastest film though and i didn't push at all, so YMMV
