Default New x-ray scanners at airports NOT safe for ANY Ilford film

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but a search doesn't find anything and the Ilford article isn't dated.

What with the Covid situation at the moment, most of us won't be flying anywhere soon, but I have just read the following on the Ilford website, that I think is important to us as photographers:

Advice for Airport X-ray scanners: Film & papers

We are working with the DFT and Heathrow airport in the UK and will shortly be updating our information relating to the new CT type x-ray scanners being installed at major airports worldwide.

Based on our initial testing it is almost certain the new CT type x-ray scanners for cabin baggage will be deemed unsafe for any of our ILFORD and KENTMERE film products irrespective of ISO speed rating.

The link for this and other items is at:
