hmmmm.....dunno about that.

the way i understand it is that the x rays effectively expose the film to a little "light" each time you go through. if you go through lots then they end up washed out ie over exposed (although each of the colours of the film may not get affected at the same rates as you might expect with white light).

if this is the case then b4 or after wouldn't matter...you would be takeing a photo over the top of a partially exposed film.

Also, the checked in luggage and freight x-ray machines are not the same as the hand luggage ones.

As I'm a no-cluer, this may all be crap. Would be happy for all the experts out there to chip in and correct me. ;-)
