Why don't they let you...?


Travel Info
Why don't they let you take unexposed film (in or out of cameras) through security or even leave it in your checked bags at airports?

Travel Tips
There is no restriction against taking unexposed film through security or having it in checked bags.

However, the x-ray equipment at checked baggage will damage it. TSA recommends that you put it in your carryon, and request hand inspection of the film when you go through security. Source(s): http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p...

I have no idea .. I think it's to make traveling a bigger pain in the ... than it already is!
i think the x-ray machine would ruin it
apparently the x-ray machine can damage your film from what this web site has said.

I think x-ray machines have something to do w/ it. But also I think it's just another homeland security measure.
