On my recent trip to France, I put all of my film into a ziplock bag (after
removing them from their containers), and then asked for hand-inspection of
said film. Everywhere I went, this request was honoured, *except* for the
return flight from Charles de Gaulle to Toronto (the final leg from Toronto to
Edmonton was okay). The inspectors at CDG treat a request for hand inspection
like an insult to the Power and Glory That Is France. So, even though my film
went through four security checkpoints, it only got x-rayed once. To date, I
can detect no problems with the exposed slides. Mind you, I think inspectors
at CDG are lazy, surly morons...
