I had no problems in Tampa or Orlando, they opened the cannisters which I
held in a plastic bag. Miami, however was a different story. They refused
and said they would only handcheck film that was rated ISO 800 or higher and
that was an FAA regulation. Well, I found no such regulation and I think the
girl was lying to me. Miami is really awful and also watch your laptops if
you go through that airport. They dropped mine -- twice! The 2nd time
broke it and I'm still fighting them to get it repaired. Incidently, even
though ISO 400 film was included, it was not fogged.
