I over heard a colleague at work today telling a customer that the metal detectors and xray machines at airport security can wipe your camera memory cards of photos....I told her to stop lying to customers.

film subject to xray gets fucked aparently, although i doubt that too.

If you irradiate a normal roll of camera film with x-rays you ought to destroy it given enough time. However, x-rays have such a short wavelength that most of the photons will just fly right through the film without even interacting at all...

That is how Pierre Curie first discovered radioactivity. He had left some pitchblend on some unexposed film in a dark drawer.

Geeze, don't they teach science history anymore?
