The problem affects high speed films the most, and paper is basically very slow film (equivalent to 5 or 10). However I'd avoid leaving it in checked luggage (which gets a higher dose). Carry it through with you. Ian

The ones used for baggage are not so kind to films as the ones used at the check in gates, so carry sensitive materials with you. Jorge O
