X-Ray machines at many major airports in Asia and Europe, are far worse.  They simply
add so much fog that the contrast is reduced to flat and dull. This is especially
noticable with black and white films.  All of these machines are labeled "film safe",
some of these machines are so high powered that they destroy light sensing cells
in light meters and flashes with just one pass. Would like to hear comments from
others who have had similar experiences.  Tom
