Digital BW, The Print

While you have a legal right to request hand inspection of film (it's
specified in the Regs) the inspectors seem to be focused on film
speed. iso 400 or less and they really push you to have it x-rayed.
So, I always carry one roll of iso 1600 and tell them "It's different
film speeds but some is 1600" and they hand inspect it with no grumbles.
