The ziplock bags still work for me.  Best method I've personally ever used.
 However, make sure you have a couple rolls of 1600 speed film in there
that you point out to them as being X-Ray sensitive.  It prevents arguments.

I don't worry about the film in the cameras, nor about the camera bag
itself.  Let it sail on through the X-rays without bother.  Same with your
laptop computer.  I've never had a problem.

I do try to get them to handcheck the tripod though.
