Among precautions that travelers can expect will be the increased use of new, high-intensity x-ray scanners for checked baggage and hand-carried baggage. Passengers should be aware that these high-intensity x-ray machines will fog and ruin all unprocessed film of any speed, whether exposed or not. Kodak recommends that air travelers do not carry unexposed or unprocessed motion picture film.

I've been wondering about this. I did pack some floppy and zip disks in my carry on bag and sent it through the x-ray. All came out fine. I hope they figure a way around this, most cities don't offer motion picture film processing.
