Does Istanbul airport have x-ray scanners before the exit?
I always travel with (photographic) film and I'd like to know how many X-Ray stops I'm likely to encounter on a given trip.
Most of the time, I have my carry-on scanned once at security here in Canada before leaving, and maybe another time if I have a layover. Sometimes though (Argentina, Iceland) I've had to send my bags through a bigger (more powerful ?) X-Ray machine after immigration before leaving the airport.
Does Istanbul have such a setup ?
Note: This isn't a question about photography, please don't tell me about ISO, or that film is or isn't affected by X-Rays and checked vs carry-on

The system has both X-ray and tomography devices. Feel free to ask any other queries you have or you want to know more about it Thank-You!

The good news is it's not your only choice. In fact, the TSA does allow you to \u201copt out\u201d of going through the full-body scanner machines.
