To avoid potential for damage, Eastman Kodak Company advises travelers to pack film and one-time-use cameras in their carry on luggage.
A growing number of airports are installing high intensity X-ray scanners to inspect checked baggage for security reasons," said Matthias Freund, president of Kodak's Consumer Imaging products and services operations. "These newer systems will damage unprocessed film, which will not be seen until the pictures are developed. The same holds true for one-time-use cameras."
In addition to following these travel tips, consumers should consider processing exposed film locally before returning home.
