If I take unexposed or undeveloped film on vacation via airplane, does the film have to bypass the X-ray scanners or is it safe to have it in the luggage?

Not sure here in the U.S.--I read an advisory about a year or two back that warned about stronger scanners here and recommended having all film examined by hand and kept in a carry-on while on-board. As a digital user I didn't pay too much attention at the time so I don't know where I read this. I was more concerned about growing an extra a** if I got on a plane again (no, I'm not lucky enough to grow another head, or an extra arm to hold an accessory flash). :-D
