In tests conducted jointly by the TSA, the International Imaging Industry Association and the helpful folks at SanDisk (who can smell a PR opp a mile off), a range of memory cards were repeatedly run through x-rays and metal detectors and emerged unscathed. Next up, presumably, will be tests (surely sponsored by Dell) to determine whether that explosive-detection stuff they rub on laptops does anything to your computer."</i><br /><br />I could have told them that. I go through airport security checkpoints about 5 times a week. 8)
