About the "urban legend" of sending disks through the airport metal detector being dangerous: at Ohio State, all the libraries are equipped with a security device that one must walk through to exit the library; if you're carrying a book that hasn't been checked out and desensitized, this system will scream for help. Now, for some reason or another (which I don't know and have never had explained to me), every library posts a sign somewhere that says NOT to take floppies through this thing, to hand them to a desk person who can pass them through around this security system. I think the engineering library sign even says that data can (implies heavily: WILL) be lost. So what's the scoop here? -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
