Hmm.m.m.m. How new is this scanning hardware? I've travelled from Canada
back and forth to Europe a number of times - each time with many roles of
B/W IR in lead bags. They were always in the checked luggage. I've not had
any problems with fogging or anything else. I know that in the U.K. they
asked me to hand check some scanner-opaque carry on.

It's been approximately 3 years since I've travelled out of North America
and I'm wondering if I will now have to guard my film more closely.  And
does anyone know about airports in Asia and India?

Thanks.
