About 20. I'm happy to use multiple bags. Just wanted to be sure bagging it would work.Pull a vacuum on a storage bag. How many rolls?
Had an unfortunate incident at the airport where the agent asked me to open up my 120 film packages to get a hand check.
I wanted to freeze them but seeing they don't have that protection anymore not sure what to do about moisture.
Would a ziplock bag be enough? Or vacuum pack?
Thanks.
Sometime we can really overthink these things. Just a sealable bag should be ok.
Did you request a hand check? I couldn't be bothered. Just run it through the machine. It won't hurt it...unless you're carrying around high speed film, of course. Then hand inspection is the way to go.
I wouldn't.
I would keep it in dry and cool conditions, if possible, and use it earlier than any other film in my freezer.

Probably worth raising the issue of the newer airport scanners. This mindset is apparently rendered outdated in the face of advancing security measures bringing in new equipment.
Low speed film is very much not safe in the face of some new models of scanners.
I can't speak of the current status of airport scanners, Andrew, but a recent thread on such does seem to indicate that the latest scanners will ruin all films and it would appear to be only a matter of time when all airports will have installed them. Currently it would appear that the film companies are aware of the problem but I have yet to see any signs that the companies are doing others than warn users of the dangers. Hand inspection may be the cheapest and simplest solution but other than the U.S. and maybe Canada the current custom of security staff is to refuse to do such inspectionsAre these scanners in Canada? I've never had issues with scanning, going to Japan and back.

It might be a good test for the revival of film to see how much weight this revival has with say Europe's attitude towards the need for granting hand inspections which is largely refused. The next attempt to carry out a terrorist attack no matter how amateur or isolated it may be, is liable to make a "better safe than sorry" attitude to scanners more entrenched.
I have no idea how big a revival of film needs to be to change this mindset that film users are a relic from a past era but I fear it has to be much bigger than is currently the case.

I would be equally concerned about scanners at the Japan end.
