Can Portra 800 go through airport security?

Does airport security ruin 35mm film?
In the past, older models of X-ray scanners were even more damaging to film, particularly high ISO films. However, most current machines used for carry-on luggage scanning use a very mild dose of X-rays that is unlikely to cause any damage to your film if it's under 800 ISO.
Does airport xray ruin Polaroid film?
This is a common concern and people have been asking us for years. X-ray in airport scanners don't affect film that is already developed – digital photos, slides, and developed pictures aren't affected. But undeveloped film is sensitive to light because they are waiting to be exposed.
How do you get film through TSA without ruining it?
We recommend carrying your film in a clear plastic zip-lock-style bag, with which TSA is familiar. Leave your rolls in their plastic canisters and/or sealed packaging whenever possible. We try to keep our cameras unloaded so they can pass through the X-ray machine, but loaded cameras can also be hand-scanned.
How do I protect my disposable camera through TSA?

- Don't keep film in any luggage or baggage that will be checked.
