Photography Question

Traveling Through Airports w/Digital Gear


I will be traveling over the Christmas holiday. I have a Nikon D70 and some other digital camera gear. Can the camera and the compact flash cards go through the X-ray, or should these items be hand-searched? Thanks for any help or other tips.

  X-rays have no effect on digital cameras or storage media. Keep them with you in your carry-on luggage. These items have an unfortunate tendency to disappear from checked baggage.

  Thanks John
I was not going to check it but carry it on. I was not sure if the metal detector or the xray next to the metal detector was a problem
Thanks Bill
