This is certainly true for most developed countries.

I have never understood why people will fly from one developed country to
another and insist on carrying dozens (if not hundreds) of rolls of film
through carry-on scanners (or arguing endlessly - and frequently fruitlessly
- for hand inspections) when the very same films - and 1st class dev
facilities - are available in country. Sheer masochism.

These days, however, I do draw the line at processing in hotel bathrooms...
