I just got back from a trip to the USA and Canada. At San Francisco 
International, 
they now X-ray all baggage (domestic and international) with new warnings 
against 
ALL photographic film. Amazingly, even the person at check-in indicated that 
all film 
needs to be in a carry on. Naturally, all carry on baggage is also X-rayed, but 
as 
others on the list have indicated, you can run a few times through these low 
dose 
scanners without apparent harm, particularly for ASA 400 and below. I'm going 
to 
start using a film shield, in any case. Note- no X-ray warnings in Newark or 
Toronto - 
but I don't know what that means...I will no longer take the chance.
