CHAPTER I
FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (Continued)
SUBCHAPTER F -- AIR TRAFFIC AND GENERAL OPERATING RULES
PART 108 -- AIRCRAFT OPERATOR SECURITY
§108.209 Use of X-ray systems.
(e) No aircraft operator may use any X-ray system to inspect accessible
property or checked baggage unless a sign is posted in a conspicuous place
at the screening checkpoint or where checked baggage is accepted which
notifies individuals that such items are being inspected by an X-ray and
advises them to remove all X-ray, scientific, and high-speed film from
accessible property and checked baggage before inspection. This sign shall
also advise individuals that they may request that an inspection be made of
their photographic equipment and film packages without exposure to an X-ray
system. If the X-ray system exposes any accessible property or checked
baggage to more than one milliroentgen during the inspection, the aircraft
operator shall post a sign that advises individuals to remove film of all
kinds from their articles before inspection. If requested by individuals,
their photographic equipment and film packages shall be inspected without
exposure to an X-ray system.
§108.211 Use of explosives detection systems.
(b) No aircraft operator may use an explosives detection system that uses
X-ray technology to inspect checked baggage unless a sign is posted in a
conspicuous place where checked baggage is accepted, which notifies
individuals that such items are being inspected by an explosives detection
system and advises them to remove all X-ray, scientific, and high-speed
film from checked baggage before inspection. This sign shall also advise
individuals that they may request that an inspection be made of their
photographic equipment and film packages without exposure to an explosives
detection system. If the explosives detection system exposes any checked
baggage to more than one milliroentgen during the inspection the aircraft
operator shall post a sign which advises individuals to remove film of all
kinds from their articles before inspection. If requested by individuals,
their photographic equipment and film packages shall be inspected without
exposure to an explosives detection system.

even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,
awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself --
