I have been to Thailand, Hong Kong, (am in) Taiwan, went to Singapore, and everywhere in the US.. All my film that is not in the camera, get's hand-checked. I get them to hand-check it everytime.

How do I do it? Well, first, you have to give them comfort.. Put all the film in a plastic lunch baggie. Let them SEE that it's film canisters. Second, throw a roll of ISO 800 or 1600 in there. When they ask, tell them you have high speed film. Also, I rip off all the cardboard, that way I can honestly say "I don't know which one it is". Last, when they tell you ISO 100 is fine, tell them like I do "Hmm.. That's what they said last time, and I came home with 100 0.000000ogged pictures.. So just go ahead and tell me who I can sue if you guys screw up these rolls."
17 airports so far, and I've had them handcheck..  ;-)

Hong Kong, the guy opened EVERY ROLL, I had 40 rolls on me, you can imagine the guys behind me and the profanity that spewed from their mouthes.. But, my film didn't go through the scanner!!
