[edit] Airport security x-ray machines security

  • Are x-ray machines on airport safe for scanning electronics devices such as digital cameras and laptops?
  • The images produced by these machines use different colors for different objects. How does that work?

From 'About.com'

3) Should You X-Ray Your Laptop? Letting your laptop go through the x-ray equipment will not harm your laptop. The magnetic field which is generated is not enough to cause harm to your hard drive or cause damage to your data. Metal detectors on the other hand, can cause damage and request politely that Security/Customs do not use the metal detector but do a hand check instead.

[edit] How do tX-ray machies work

unfortunately there is no detailed part (aisde froma couple of sentences) that explain how X-rays work. COuld someone do this - it is crucial to an article like this. Billyb 02:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

as far as i know its not allowed for insiders to tell how they work, for security reasons (when you know how it works, it would be easy for you to hide weapons in your baggage) even pictures made by baggage x-ray devices are not open for everyone, i googled for some of them, but didnt find any useable --85.176.50.232 21:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
