From a friends experience, never store film in a lead bag. He forgot to mention that there was film inside the lead bag that he had with him. In the end each factory sealed box of sheet film was opened and intern ruined. I was told by a TSA Employee that factory seals are sometimes are actually perceived by the TSA as being suspicious. Another friend included an invoice from B&H Photo for the film that he was carrying. Once again this was at first perceived as being suspicious. Fortunately another TSA employee there was a photographer and after asking my friend a question or two about the film, let the boxes go through unharmed. Personally I always carry my "EMERITUS" shield with me and once seen, I am let through without any hassle. Sometimes in state and federal buildings even escorted past checks!
