Philippe,
I travel to France every two years or so and I always
mail unexposed film back to myself in the US. This is
120 roll film that I mail through the French and US
postal systems, without any protection other than the
cardboard box that is free at the French post office.
I have never had film fogging. However, I have done
this only once since the World Trade Center attacks
and that was about only a month after the attacks, so
that the authorities would not have had time to make
any changes to their previous systems.
I would be curious to know whether anyone has had
fogging problems using the regular mails in the last
6-12 months.
