I had a brief hop to Mexico City two weeks ago. I actually had to
leave the 750 behind in favor of a Sparcbook (for the demo I was
running).

At JFK they hand-checked the notebook, but scanned the external drive.
Coming back both went through the Xray.......no ill effects.

get through the Xray, what can't?? :-( :-(
