the ugly effect airports have on film

To do so, I'm going to have to replace the seals. Looking on eBay, this is the most visible result: ...

Does anybody have experience with that kit? I am not horribly gifted as a tinkerer/mechanic, but this kit looks to be fairly user-friendly. If you guys have any other suggestions for replacing the seals, I'm open to suggestions!

The interslice kits are very easy to use and very good. Best bang for the buck out there. IMO

I believe it happens; I've seen it. But I have also seen a lot of things that have been held up as X-ray damage and aren't.

X-rays ruined a good portion of my film after I had come back from my US trip last year.

I tried to get everything hand checked but it just didn't happen sometimes, especially when we were in a rush. Some shots had really strand casts and patterning, some or most were fine.

This is why I am reluctant to use film when I travel. I had many film shots ruined by x-ray scanner on one of my trips overseas (or at least I was told it was X-ray damage by the photo processors.) Since then, I almost always shoot digital when I travel. Better a digified image than a ruined image.

The Interslice seal kits are very good, with very detailed instructions. Highly recommended!! :D
