Re: IR film at airport x-ray detectors

Hi fellows,

Laurie White, in her "Infrared Photography Handbook" states that " you
should have no qualms about letting your infrared film go through the
x-ray machines. The x-ray wavelengths are far beyond the film's
sensitivity for exposure", although she also says that in some airports,
older x-ray machines cannot always be trusted. So, the risk of fogging is
minimum, but it exists.

Bye,

Rubem Amaral
