Presentations ...

Controversy Corner...
After the last photography meeting over refreshments at the Lord Nelson, the subject of Airport X-Ray equipment was discussed. I found alittle bit of information on the net.
Kodak has learned the following concerning unprocessed film placed
in CHECKED luggage:
There is new piece of X-ray inspection equipment, the CTX-5000,
currently being installed in major airports worldwide.
This system is designed to inspect CHECKED baggage only, not carry on.
Operationally, this unit performs two types of scans. The first is a
general sweep, which is harmless to film. The second is a focused,
high-energy scan targeted at any suspicious looking items identified
by the
system in the initial sweep. If this second scan happens to strike
unprocessed film, it will be ruined.
Given the nature of the business, the severity of this problem would
appear to be great for professional photographers. Your options are
limited:
Don't carry unprocessed film in checked baggage
If you must carry large amounts of unprocessed film, contact the
airline prior to your flight to make inspection arrangements
which would not involve using the CTX-5000
One other warning about the CTX-5000: after it has processed your bag, it
literally SHOOTS it out the end at what looks like 100 MPH!!There is a metal stop at the end, so your bag gets slammed into this wall. I was shocked when I saw my bag catch air coming out of the machine. Ask for a hand inspection of your photo bag. Even a Nikon can't take that kind of punishment!!!
