Travelling with film has become a nightmare. You can ask for a "hand check" but that doesn't always mean you avoid the dreaded x-ray machine. There are many videos on KZread about film being x-rayed - some say it's fine, while others say it will fog the film. From my experience, x-rays may fog the film depending on the film stock, speed, and most importantly, the security scanner used. Different airports use different equipment and some of the most recent models of scanning equipment will fog the film. So, it's a crapshoot. Digital of course, doesn't have these issues.
