X-rays will fog all film from 400-ASA. Most camera stores sell X-Ray
proof bas that you can stick you films in and it will block the x-rays.
There is stuff all the guards can do about it because these bags are
legal.

I never allow any of my electronic gear to be x-rayed. The guards
usually have their winge and spit, but in the end it just involves
another 5 minutes proving that they are infact working devices and not
bombs.

Cheers

Scott
