This is good advice:

I always bring a copy of this with me when travelling and highlight the
pertinent parts. Usually asking for a hand inspection works just fine,
but if not I just flash this... nothing works better than a TSA seal
with their own policy. Don't know how well this goes over in
international airports, but they do recommend processing locally...
better luck next time,
