  Carry-on x-ray machine:
ISO 400 or lower, maybe - maybe not. Higher ISO, probably.

Checked baggage x-ray machine: Definitely will.

Thank you I read the article, but now that I've though about it, there is no hope for my films. I order it throught the mail. And I let it go the the carry on x-ray machine. Well I will see it Thur.
