Is it ok to carry a computer's hard disc by hand luggage while flying? |

my Palm Vx went through Airport xray machines about 100 times last year(worked abroad and flew home every weekend)...no problems with it now.

going through the x-ray scanner will not damage it because the magnetic field is low.
keep it on top of a photocopy machine - and make a copy of the disk (for whatever reason!) - and you will have some fireworks.. 
equivalent to keep raw egg in a microwave along with a some other kitchen spices (i won't tell you which one)... you will think im a terrorist

ejasim> you don't need any spices to start off with... why don't you try just keeping a raw egg inside the over and watch what happens after a minute 
you can spend this weekend, cleaning up your kitchen
here's a video of what happens when you do this.

ps: I am not responsible for any damage whatsoever for any one who tries this! Please make sure you don't add anything else in the microwave either - some home made stuff are quite explosive and can blow your roof off!

decoy7, just for your info, a Palm device does not use a magnetic storage device such as a hard disk. Thus EM fields wouldn't affect it anyway. |
