will photo paper make it through the airport carry-on x-ray

[Ken Fong]

I have some old photographic paper (still good) that I was going to bring to some photography students. Will this stuff make it through the airport x-ray for carry-on baggage without any ill-effects?

Also, does unprocessed ISO 400 film (and lower) make it through these x-rays okay without lead-encased protection?

Once when I was travelling back from europe, the camera was in the luggage. It was scanned at least 4 times with the film.

All of the pictures had a nice pink-reddish tone... No. Not tone. It seemed like red was exposed at 100% (or pink)

I am not sure if it was the result of the bad photo processing or xrays, but it's my experience
