What the new airport CT scanners actually do to camera film

Ilford HP5 plus canister and box made to look like it's on a damaged roll of film .

Professional photographer, videographer and YouTuber, Steven Broome (AKA @vintagecameradigest), has released a video that – by his own admission – he didn't want to make: how the new high-tech CT scanners at airports affect camera film. Yep, you guessed it, poor Steven ended up finding out the hard way…

As he tells his viewers in the video (below) he was on a trip through the Northwestern United States. So, he packed his Nikon F2, some of the best 35mm film rolls – Kodak Pro Image 100, Kodak Portra 400, Ilford HP5 Plus, Kentmere 100 and even some Wolfen PF2 (with a crazy ISO3) – and headed to the airport.
