There's an article in the moderated group (by Raines Cohen) that was talking about new regulations for bringing computers past the checkpoints. It appears that they must either be checked or x-rayed. Does anyone else have any other information about this, or the effects of letting them zap the mac? (I did this once. I had the mac in the original box, and let them run it through their machines without thinking what was in that box. Nothing happend to it, but was I just lucky?)

The X-ray scanners at airports will not damage your Mac in any way. I have sent mine through them many times. Floppies should probably not go through the scanners. I usually just hand them to the security attendant and let them take the disks around the machine. espen
