infrared does NOT have an antihalation layer and that is why it light pipes
and has to be opened in darkness.  I double checked that he was not
referring, in fact, to the BW infrared and he said no, the color.  Now, if
Kodak trains their techs well, this should be trustworthy (?)

Chris, the film does not contain an anti-halation layer. However, because it 
contains 2 color emulsion layers, plus an infrared layer, the IR layer is 
protected by the color emulsion layers, allowing you to load & unload the 
film in normal light, as with any ''normal" film. Trust me on this- I've shot 
over 400 rolls of EIR & never loaded or unloaded in total darkness & never 
had a problem with fogging from light piping.
