Where is "over there"? Cuba? My advice is don't worry about it. Just take the
film in your carry on.
I've had film zapped from trips to Mexico with no problems. Last summer, I
traveled from Canada to U.S. to Peru to Boliva and back again with 35mm Tri-X
(400asa). There were several internal flights in Peru so the film was x-rayed
over 10 times with no ill effects. As my Spanish is very weak I didn't bother
trying mention I was carrying film. There was never any question about the film
or inspection.

Subject: [Frameworks] getting through airport x-ray
Hey all,
I'm traveling internationally with a bolex and 16mm film at the end of this
month. Any advice you have about getting through airport security/customs
intact would be appreciated.
Specifically I'm worried about the x-ray machines/ light exposure on the
film.Once I shoot over there, what's the best way to bring it back? Would it be
safer to mail it back the states?
Thanks,
Peter W. Hofstad
