They also had new CT scanners, so scanning there is not a good idea.
Arlanda (Stockholm) was harder to get a commitment for hand checking beforehand. Seems there is no legal ground for hand checking photographic film Sweden (as for example medical equipment and other stuff). It's all up to the acting security supervisor in place to decide.
But there are two terminals, number four and five. Terminal four still has old scanners that presumably are film safe up to ISO 800 and terminal five has new CT scanners. And even if you fly from number five you can go through security in terminal four and then transfer to five airside. And this was a tip from the security officer.
In the end I asked for a manual check in terminal four and they obliged without any questions.
