Kewl Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I just put mine in one of those trays, and all went well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maia Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Yep. Put it along with the cellphone on those side trays, otherwise it'll prolly sund the alarm checkpoint. There's a user here that was passing it with the MD on the hand and the security guy wanted to see what it was, coz it could be a damn bomb :wink: ! so he just stood there explaining the guy that it was a digital music equipment, lol.

mAjEsTiC Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 i'm finking that the airport scanners use x-rays (or sum sort of high frequency emr to check your luggage...) and i don't think that this can hav an adverse effect on the data on your MD since it's using MO technology, meaning it needs both heat and a strong magnet to alter or erase any data on those discs...those scanners don't induce heat or magnetism on those discs (any one correct me if i'm wrong) soo i would think that ur music would be safe...

ROLFYeah, and once I showed him, he thought it was pretty cool (and it was only a Sony MZ-E3)! I had a few MDs on me that have passed thru a number of X-rays over the years, and I still listen to them with no trouble. You're safe...or at least your MDs are. :?

mylesdyson Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I work for TSA (Transportation Security Admin). With that said your MD discs and equipment are safe and won'nt be compronised while being xrayed. Now if you think that it might or have a inch of worry. Ask your screener to hand check you MD for you ok. mylesdson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgsincheshire Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi yes I have had problems with the scanners at airport security.My NW-HD1 loses all of it's data after being x-rayed.Amazingly sometimes the data can re-appear on it's own.Which is not much use when you are packing up to return home! Do you have any ideas how to overcome this problem as the device has to go through the security x-ray machine.I am seriously considering getting rid of my NW-HD1 and replacing it with an Apple i-pod to see if that is any better..Thanks.Keith.

Roamer Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 NW-HD1 is hard drive based, not MD. You should consider posting at the other forum : AtracLife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I have been through screening a few times with my MD gear. THe gear went through the xray machine with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
