What is the best way to travel with camera and film equipment?

When you travel with camera equipment, the x-ray machines don't hurt film. If a passenger's concerned about what the x-ray machine is doing damage to their film, they can certainly take it out and make it available for physical inspection. Where you need to be careful is at the baggage screening, because the baggage screening technology could damage some films and some video tapes. So, we also ask passengers: if you're concerned about the damage that could be done to film or tapes, take it out and put it in your carry-ons.
