"Taking Cards Through Airport X-Ray Machines and Metal Detectors: You can put full or empty flash cards in your checked baggage or in your carry-ons with little risk of damage from airport scanners. The International Imaging Industry Association conducted tests last year with security devices used in U.S. airports and found that no damage to the cards resulted with normal travel frequency. As an added precaution, SanDisk recommends that you take the card out of your camera before passing through security devices."
I'm traveling next month i was wondering can my creative zen one touch and archos av500 go through the baggage x-ray machines at the airport? do i have to hand carry and ask the security guards "hand check" them? mahalo.
