I once had a roll of Fuji HG1600 film which I carried with me on some 13
international flights and which I think would have been scanned about 10
times and at least once in the checked luggage, before I finally found a
situation in which I needed it. A scan from the roll can be found here:

And no, those streaks are not caused by the X-rays, it genuinely is an
apocalyptic thunderstorm! The photo was taken from a moving train,
hence the blurred foreground.
I know other people have mentioned films being fogged, and maybe I was
just somehow very lucky. I have seen quite a few signs on hand luggage
scanners which quote a maximum safe film speed - sometimes as low as 800
but more usually 1600.

to check film higher than ISO 100. Anybody had problems with
ISO 400 or
higher film?
No noticeable problems with ISO 400 C41.
