I have travelled recently with Provia 400F (35mm) without problems. I never leave film in checked baggage. I put all my film, exposed and fresh, in a jacket pocket and put that on the conveyor for the X-ray machine before I put any other hand luggage on. I find the jacket and film cruise straight through (minimal exposure) while they inevitably halt the system to have a longer look at the overnight bag.
My eighty year-old mother (who uses a walking stick to get around) had her nail file confiscated recently during check-in. Then they offered her a wheel-chair to go out to the plane.
