About Baggage Inspection

I had scissors and a utility knife in my carry-on baggage, and I was told that they could not be brought onboard at the security check and had to abandon them. Can abandoned items be returned? Also, if time permits, can I put it into my checked baggage?

Items that are voluntarily abandoned by customers at the security inspection site cannot be returned to customers as they are disposed of daily. Thank you for your understanding. If you have time, you can put them in your checked baggage after consulting with the staff of the airline you are using.

Can I carry sensitive photographic film onboard in my carry-on baggage without an X-ray inspection?

In the case of sensitive film, manual inspections are available in-lieu of X-ray inspection. Please show the person in charge separately from your baggage.
When put in checked baggage, there is a high chance the film will be exposed when inspected by high-performance inspection devices. Therefore, please carry film in your carry-on baggage.
