VF-19
I had my film gear put through the x-ray machine when I went to Vancouver (from Ottawa) about 1.5 years ago. It was pretty cool to see the guts of my gear. I did have a small incident involving my DS lite case; it came out looking like a black brick on the scanner, so they had to check it out. All of my film (ISO 200) survived intact. And before I came home, I had my exposed film processed, so that I didn't need to worry about X-ray damage.
I did get some neat shots of the Rockies.
If you're that worried about your film being damaged, you could try out those lead lined film bags. They should do the trick.
Also, at least in Canada, they make you put ALL of your check on bags through the X-ray machine. No visual checks allowed.
Next time I head out to Vancouver, I'll leave the film cameras at home, and bring my digital kit.
