I flew from Chicago with a couple 1/2" reel tapes this summer and just
asked that they not be x-rayed. The TSA attendant called their
supervisor who did a physical examination, swabbed them, and I was good
to go. Of course YMMV.

Subject: airport x-ray machines: can they damage 8" floppies?
I'm going to VCF/nanotech thing by plane and I thought this
would be a good way to bring Al some 8" floppies (PLATO
system!) to archive/image, but I wondered if the airport
x-ray scanner would do anything bad to them? I'd hate to
damage them on my way to having them archived...
