Whether that applies to any security X-ray scanners may be something none of us here really knows.
At least in the US, if the scanner looks like a round tunnel (new ones) it's not safe for any film, if it is square it might work for film less than 800
BUT in either case hand-check is better
Hospital X-ray machines can be set to deliver different intensities (or doeses). I personally saw this during the Medical Physics course of my degree in Applied Physics. Though that was the 1990s I doubt it's entirely unique to hospital X-ray machines.

Mail it home? I assume the X-ray machine is even stronger for unattended mail and package, no?
As of this month:
CDG terminal 2 - x-ray scanners. I asked for hand inspection & the guy declined saying it's just fine. He wouldn't drop the conversation. It would have been faster to just open the d#*& bag and look.
Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, Argentina. New and super modern terminal...but x-ray scanners still.
Please report back when the film is developed!
The older airport scanners for carry-ons, the new CT scanners, and the more powerful checked-bag scanners all use X-rays. The difference is in the intensity and maybe the spatial distribution. Many of you know this, I'm just pointing out that if one says at such and such airport there were "x-ray scanners," it doesn't tell us whether you mean the old ones (generally safe for film) or the new ones (sometimes damage film).

In tests we performed in Rochester,
Is there any information that can be shared as to the nature of that European group? As remarked earlier in this thread, there's no EU policy like there is in the US or the UK that entitles passengers to a hand inspection. Evidently, policies and arrangements are different here. This makes me wonder whether the European group you mention is somehow associated with the EU or EP.Others in the company shared those results with a European group working on the issue with the various airport agencies there.
