They were just the same at Heathrow in the early nineties. I had film in
canisters in my pocket, I asked for them to be hand inspected, I even
removed them from the canisters. They just put them straight through the
X-ray machine.
I've never had success getting *any* of my film hand-checked at *any*
airport in Europe. Heathrow, Frankfurt, Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, all the
same -- put 'em through the fog factory and hope for the best. Mind you, I
was using *very* slow film (Velvia - 50 ISO), so I never noticed any
problems. But I'd sooner slash my wrists than take high-speed film through
a European airport -- might as well flush your money down the nearest
toilet bowl.
