Can I pass the subway security check with photographic paper?

Most of the cameras commonly used by people belong to digital cameras. Digital cameras store data on memory cards, which is different from traditional films.

When passing through the security inspection machine, the penetrability of X-ray will expose the film, and if it is a film camera, it will damage the photo. But now photos are usually stored on the memory card, and passing the security check will not affect the memory card, so as long as it is not a film camera, other cameras can pass the security check machine.

But for polaroid cameras, because polaroid cameras have photographic paper, when X-rays are irradiated, the photographic paper will be exposed to different degrees. If it is unopened polaroid photographic paper, as long as the protective tin foil is not torn off, the influence of X-rays on photographic paper can be minimized in general, and it will not have any influence on the later use of photographic paper, even if there is, the degree is relatively light.

The effect of the photos taken is not easy to perceive. However, the photographic paper in polaroid camera is protected by tin foil, which is easily affected by X-ray exposure. Therefore, it is suggested that photographic paper should be avoided as much as possible before security inspection, and you can ask for hand inspection without X-ray scanning. Most of the cameras sold in the market are expensive, so it is recommended to protect the cameras when traveling to avoid damage.
