Any problems letting it run through the x-ray? I get confused, isn't that just a worry for regular film with a higher ISO?
Thanks for any help!

I can second Andy's response. I have never had a problem sending all my camera equipment through either the walk-on or the checked baggage route. Though for peace of mind, I prefer to take it with me on the plane. The x-ray machines do nothing to the equipment or the memory cards.

But be prepared to speak up and let the inspector know the equipment is yours and it is camera equipment if asked. They may hand check what is in your bag.
