I've been through almost every major airport in Canada from Montreal to
Victoria carrying my laptop and have never been asked to demostrate
that it works.  I carry it in my briefcase which I simply run through
the x-ray machine.  Is there a hazard in this?  Over the past two years
I have yet to detect any problems.  I also routinely send my data disks
through the x-ray machines--sometimes the same disk will go through the
machine ten times on a single trip.  Again, in two years of this I've
yet to lose even a single byte of data.
