John,
Even the alleged damage to film was mostly a red herring, at least
when you are talking about airports in the civilised world. As for CF
cards, absolutely no damage. I have passed through Gatwick many
times, with film and (in the last few years, including this week) CF
cards, without ever experiencing any problems.
