I'm not sure about what happens if it is shipped by a shipping company,
I've been told there are companies that won't x-ray items - especially
if it is shipped on a cargo/non passenger plane.
If traveling with you - DO NOT EVER check film anymore, only hand carry.
Within the U.S you can insist on a hand inspection, and the security
must supply you with a room (I always bring a changing bag.) Unless the
rules have changed.
The Checked baggage x-ray machines are very very powerful and no film is
safe. However I ran some still film through the carry on x-ray many
times and had no issues, but this was a few years ago.
Don't believe anyone from the TSA, they are goons. I actually had one
tell me that walking with film through the metal detector had destroyed
my film.
