Camera bodies, lenses etc are not affected by the x-ray machines. Film is.
If the film speed is high, you use IR film, or the film is scanned many
times then it should not be scanned by the hand-baggage scanners. Otherwise
it's ok. You can throw a couple of 1600 film in it so that when they ask you
if you have fast film (>800) you can say yes without lying. That works most
of the time. If you do that they will usually check every single film. Some
inspectors are clever enough to not use a different 'tissue' for each film
but use it on multiple film and then test it once. Nevertheless, it is going
to take a long time. It's probably better if you take the film out of the
canisters.
