<snip> Your camera and film will go through the x-ray machines at most European airports, but the carry-on x-ray machines will not harm your film no matter how many times they go through. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The effects of X-ray are cumulative, and high speed film IS sensitive to even low-level X-rays. See.www.f-stop.org for real information. The only idiot, thug, rent-a-cops you will find will be at O'Hare in Chicago. In the USA, you can demand a hand inspection for any item, period. It's federal law. Being cooperative and helpful (handing the inspector a clear plastic bag with film inside makes their life easy), and not rushing them helps. In Europe, you do not have this right. Colin
