Putting film into checked baggage is a major no no. Although some
airports don't have the big machines, more are getting them, and they
don't exactly announce it. The checked baggage machines are very high
energy and will ruin you film. see kodak's web site and read their
warnings about it. AND DON'T CHECK that film.
