hi everyone...

is it okay to leave camera in bag when going through the airport scanner? i think it's x-ray. will it spoil the camera?

Not an issue at all.

how about film? i plan to bring some to shoot with my film lomo cam... x-ray won't affect it right?

Films are safe as well

okay... thank you!

wow... thank you for the information! i think i will just carry the film rolls in pocket when going through scan station...

Ur body too will be scanned also...

really? i thought just going through metal detector..

these are old problems.. you can use film safe bags (not too sure if it exist anymore these days) but that is still subjected to airport discretion to take all items out of bag and insist that it be directly expose to scan or not.

If they want to be funny, they will even open the film canister! and there is nothing you can do about it or get it confiscated. You will never know how funny these little Napoleon can become.. I once had a removable hard disk stack taken apart for inspection and hence damaging the entire disk system !!

anything they find on your body will still be subjected to being pass tro the scanner so there is no escape. Even if you use 100% non metal , if they do a body search and find it in your procession, you are into a big body search!

Your best bet is tell them what it is and leave it to their discretion.

i hope i dont appear suspicious enough to warrant a full body search then
