The small amount of X-rays used at airports really shouldn't be able to hurt a disk drive. I have passed dozens of magnetic tapes through airport security without a problem. -- I have a friend that was taking a rare hubcap to his father who collects antique cars. He had it wrapped in white paper. When aiport security wanted to X-ray it, he said, "you can't x-ray this! Its a circular demodulator!" They let him through without opening the wrapper or x-raying it. Frightening, isn't it? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Brian Jay Gould :: INTERNET gould@pilot.njin.net BITNET gould@jvncc - - UUCP rutgers!njin!gould Telephone (201) 329-9616 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------s
