Re: United States airline screening and film

Hi Lisa,

On the contact sheets from my film, the x-ray damage looks like odd
reddish-brownish blotches and then there are lighter areas, too. It
is hard to describe. A simile might be a B&W print that was processed
in too little developer, which was completely exhausred, for too short
of a time with no agitation. Then imagine that the blotches are
brown/red.

Here are online versions of a Shutterbug article that includes one
photo damaged by x-rays (ID=4016) and a letter to the editor
(ID=4165). If I remember right, the printed edition of Shutterbug had
more photos of x-ray damage. The damage to my film doesn't look
exactly like the example in this on-line article. The letter from
Britt Stokes gives good suggestions for transporting film. It is more
germane to our conversation.
