This is more another question than an answer for Marcelo.... I'm traveling to some pretty remote parts of Kenya this year with over 300 rolls of 35mm ASA100-400. I will not have the luxury of return shipment by Fed-X but may be able to ship film to meet me there. Any ideas?
So far in my international travelling, I have had 6 rolls of ASA400 fogged while passing through Heathrow in had carry luggage. You are right, these folks "love" to be idiots about this type of thing regardless of hwo polite and cleancut you are. I know it happened at Heathrow because everywhere else I go, they are happy to oblige a request for hand inspection...however, I've never had to carry this many rolls at one time before.
