Re: an infant got x-rayed (was Re: Pablo Picasso's sculptures gotx-rayed)



Probably because X-rays are additive and everyone has one of the things. You can't go to the crapper without getting X-ray'd. If you take a trip, you have not only the airports to deal with, but museums (if they still let you photograph), synagogues (Budapest), Vatican, you name it. I only carry exactly what I might use on any outing, but how do you know? I just try to cut down the number of exposures as much as possible.

Ryuji, I don't know the details, but I too have often wondered why people insist on having slow film hand-inspected rather than putting it through the carry-on luggage X-ray scanner. I have never actually seen any documented evidence of film being ruined by such a scanner.
