If you’ve ever travelled long haul and got your suitcase back in a distinctly questionable condition, this might be the video for you! I’ve often wondered what on earth goes on behind the scenes at the airport. Well, apparently, so did one TikToker, who attached a tiny camera to his suitcase to film what happened to it.

Thomas Miller attached an Insta 360 Go 2 to his suitcase before dropping it t the check-in desk. He then proceeded to film the suitcase’s eye view of its incredible journey around the airport until it reached its destination.

A couple of months ago, it was announced that some airports across the US had switched over from the more traditional X-Ray machines to use Computer Tomography (CT) scanners to check passenger luggage. Unlike film, which can usually handle a few x-rays just fine if it’s low ISO, CT scans will destroy pretty much any film almost instantly.

With this technology set to expand to at least 145 airports in total, Kodak has posted an advisory to Facebook with some guidance on travelling with film. They actually did some testing with Portra 400 and the CT scanners in cooperation with the TSA to see exactly what kind of effect it had.
