I tried posting this last year and did not get any responses, so hopefully I will this time. I do a lot of traveling back and forth from school to home and back, and I have my computer that I like to take with me. I also have this hard drive that I like to take with me, too. I was wondering how I could get my hard drive through the airport x-ray and take it with me on my plane without damaging it? I tried once last year unsuccessfully to take the HD through the x-ray machine, and when I got it home, it wouldn't boot and had to be repaired. When I take the computer through, they tell me to plug it in, and I do and they let me pass. But my hard drive is so bulky that it is just too much trouble to plug into an outlet and into my Macintosh and boot up right there in line at the security gate. Is there some sort of case made for hard drives that would pretty much insure its safety? What is a person to do? Thanks in advance, Dan Church dansnsr@nmtsun.nmt.edu

Yes the easy solution is to get an internal hard drive!
As far a cases....any case that would protect your HD would make them
suspicious enough to make you plug it in anyway!
Sorry no real help here.
