Perhaps carrying a copy of the latest TSA guidelines that specifically allow hand inspection of ALL motion picture films will help in other countries?:

At the passenger security checkpoint, you should remove the following types of film from your carry-on baggage and ask for a hand inspection:
* Film with an ASA/ISO 800 or higher
* Highly sensitive X-ray or scientific films
* Film of any speed which is subjected to X-ray surveillance more than 5 times (the effect of X-ray screening is cumulative)
* Film that is or will be underexposed
* Film that you intend to 'push process'
* Sheet film
* Large format film
* Medical film
* Scientific film
* Motion picture film
* Professional grade film
