This is the way I'm going to start doing this.  I used to use the lead lined bag
but it was just a hassle as the bag was always checked by the guard as they were
sure I had something suspicious in there since they couldn't read it.  I have 
just been taking the chance with the film till now and so far no noticeable 
problems.
