I have taken queen bees through in my personal carrage on luggage and have
had no problems with the queens.  I also know beekeepers who have taken
queen cells packed in sawdust in a styrofoam "esky" and they have had no
problems.

One thing I noticed when I was in Amercia at Orlando airport was that I had
to remove all my films from my luggage as it said they would be damaged.
Here in Australia, a notice where we put our carry on luggage through the
X-ray says that it will not harm the films.  It would seem that there are
different dose rates being used.
