The POE is not equipped with medical personnel (radiologist) who can read and or interpret an x-ray. Save and use your carry on space for something important

This is what most people over-look. No one at POE can interpret the x-ray! The results of the x-ray are in the brown envelope, made all simple for the IOs to understand.

I only know of ONE person who has been asked for their x-ray, ONE, in all the thousand who are members here. And that was over 18 months ago.

Ahh - but I did it for my sanity - it didn't take up that much space, wasn't heavy and I just KNEW I would worry about it otherwise

If it helps keep you sane then go for it, I say!

at my POE I was laughed at when I tried to give it to them.

Nobody wanted it.

I sure didn't want my husband's, but we carried that awkward big brown envelope just in case.

As I flew from the UK and was only allowed a pathetically small carry on bag, I packed my X-Ray in my checked luggage and didn't have any issues. My hand luggage was already bulging full with all my immigration paperwork anyway, and I wouldn't have been allowed a storage tube for it on the plane with any other hand luggage. So far as I was aware, the X-Ray is pretty useless anyway after it's given back to you and is only of use to give to your new doctor in the USA for comparison purposes in the future should you want to.

I packed my x-ray film in my checked luggage. I was so sure that US Immigration in my POE-PDX (Portland) wont bother to look at it.

Sorry, but it is not necessary to bring it with you. It is just a baseless rumor that they may ask for it. Do not waste valuable space in your luggage.
