Thanks to all who responded to my post.  I will now gently remove the 
film.  It was reassuring to learn that some LCDs were shipped with the 
film still in place.

As for the generation of x-rays, I doubt that there would be sufficient 
energy in the removal to do that.  Might be a job for the Mythbusters.

Again, thanks to all.
