About the "urban legend" of sending disks through the airport metal
detector being dangerous:  at Ohio State, all the libraries are equipped
with a security device that one must walk through to exit the library; if
you're carrying a book that hasn't been checked out and desensitized, this 
system will scream for help.  Now, for some reason or another (which I
don't know and have never had explained to me), every library posts a sign 
somewhere that says NOT to take floppies through this thing, to hand them
to a desk person who can pass them through around this security system.  I 
think the engineering library sign even says that data can (implies
heavily:  WILL) be lost.  So what's the scoop here?
