America TravelTravelling in US, North America and Latin America

does anyone know whether film cameras and film are allowed in hand luggage when travelling via America to Oz?

Still using film so want to know if I can carry it on as well as the camera when travelling via America . I know anything going into the hold is subjected to more fierce xraying and will definitely destroy film. So if I can’t carry it on then I will need to buy and develop film whilst on holiday. Money situation means planning to get a digital SLR later this year but can’t before I go away!

Film cameras are perfectly acceptable in hand luggage, however they will need to be taken out of your bag and placed in the tray.

Full details can be found on the appropriate airport’s website.
