Jonathan Bowerbank Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Only 30 ft? They've already been x-rayed eh? I'm guessing there's already some damage done to them, but to be safe, you should just FedEx'em home with a giant "DO NOT X-RAY" label. Yeah.

TERRORIST STUFF INSIDE!" and decide to open it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well, of course whenever you ship something FedEx, especially between countries, you're asked to divulge what items you're actually sending if you're needing to make such a request. In which case you'd probably write "Photosensitive Material" or something to that effect "DO NOT X-RAY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadav Hekselman Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 When you Fed-ex material over-seas, and ask not to x-ray, they usually just leave it for 24hours at the airport's storage to make sure its not a bomb or something. Thats what the austrian lab i used to work with told me.. Anyway, it works.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard Zitz Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 take a charging-bag with you and ask for hand-inspection. If you can't avoid X-raying take the stuff in your hand-luggage, the hand-luggage scanners usually harm less. I had a couple of times Tri-X going thru hand-luggage-scanners and there was no harm at all...but you never know.. NEVER!!! put film in the check-in-luggage, the check-in-luggage scanners will fog your film for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
