I have always understood this to be true-- that is, they can scan the film if there is any concern on their part. A couple of times I was told this as they took my film and ran it through the machine. Once I was told the film was not going with me unless scanned, it was my choice. Since the 11th, I've not tempted fate --- the environment is just to touchy. I take a digital camera with me. Where for some reason, I need film, I arrange for equipment to supplied locally. The end result is that I now carry less gear on trips, which isn't all bad.
