The last time I saw a X-Ray inspection machine, I looked more
carrefully with the indications :  there was a picture of a
camera and the indication "safe up to 1600 ISO".  The problem
is the maintenance... I suppose that there is no problem for,
95% of the machines and that only a few are really dangerous...
But more you travel more you get a chance of running your films
through them, generaly with your best pictures (don't forget
Murphy's Law).

Conclusion : stay Home :-)
