100% what I came here to say. My film camera restricts me from checking each photo instantly, keeps other people from checking each photo ("Show me! Do I look good in that? Take another one") or from sharing online. As an added bonus, I get to relive my trip a few weeks later when I get my films back from the lab. I have to add that I don't think any of my films were ever destroyed by an airport scanner. |

That is a bit of a myth these days. Modern airport hand luggage scanners are safe up to ISO 800 or so. And from my experience airport staff is very willing to hand-check high ISO film (did an intercontinental trip with T-Max 3200 once and had no issue getting it hand-checked in 4 different countries - it probably helped that I separated out only the 3200 film and got all others scanned regularly)
I hear there's new CT machines which may cause issues, but apparently the staff is well aware of this and they should be labeled.
