Camphones Safe in Both Carry-On and Checked Baggage

According to a press release by the Imaging Industry and Transportation Security Administration, digital cameras and camera phones should be able to travel safely in either checked or carry-on bags, without damage to stored images.

"More care is needed for cameras with film, however, as the X-ray scanners for both checked and carry-on luggage can fog both developed and undeveloped film."

Test protocols and results can be downloaded from http://www.i3a.org/itip.html.
