[comp.sys.mac.misc] Mac Hard Drives & X-Rays

I'm not sure where else to put this question, but since I've got your
attention, here goes...

I have a portable hard drive (a LaCie Cirrus 40 Quantum) that I use
with my Mac.  I'm flying back to Washington, D.C. in a week or so, and
I need to take the hard drive with me.  Now here's my query:  if I
take the hard drive with me on the plane as carry-on and thus through
the security x-rays, will the x-ray radiation damage the data stored
on the hard drive?

Please respond via email.  Thanks in advance!
