Unfortunately, I neglected to pay much attention to the info. (SORRY!). Can people please tell me what the protocol is in their parts of the world about checking portables through security AND give me some technical opinions about the susceptibility of disk data to the local X-rays. TIA Paul Bailes (paul@cs.uq.oz.au) (PS feel free to mail me direct, seeing this stuff has already occupied this group.)
