Keywords: Toshiba X-Ray Message-ID: <7523@sunm101.cel.co.uk> Date: 13 Dec 90 09:11:46 GMT Reply-To: tad@cel.co.uk (Tom Drynda) Followup-To: comp.sys.laptops Organization: Crosfield Ltd., Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom. Lines: 22 Expires: There have been a number of recent articles about passing portables through airport X-ray machines. In an article in a Toshiba magazine that was sent to me recently, they say that none of their portables will be adversly affected by being passed through airport X-ray machines. In that same magazine, they also give a definitive list of which airlines will allow you to use your laptop on board the aircraft, and procedures you should be expected to go through in the security check. I will post more detail on the above later (when I remember to bring the magazine in to work !) since there seems to be a lot of interest.
