Heya everyone,
Does anyone know what the affects of x-ray machines are on laptops? A girl came into the helpdesk today and said that the TSA had sent her laptop through their X-Ray machine (she carried on her laptop) and now it won't work. Sure enough, she had some physical damage to her screen (though I suspect that was from dropping it) and her hard drive was jacked up. Someone know what the exact effects of x-ray's are on hard drives? I was under the impression that you shouldn't send those things through x-ray machines, though I don't fly commercially enough to know if they normally do it. I wouldn't let them send my box through one of those things, no way.
Cheers
