That is one of the few airports in the world where I have never managed to convince them to hand-inspect. They have always insisted that the film go through the x-ray machine. I pack my film in ziplock bags or Tupperware, but I also carry lead bags in my carry-on bag so that I can stick the film in them if they refuse to hand-inspect. The lead bag shows up as a blob on the x-ray so they have to open it up and hand-inspect, which is what I asked for in the first place!
