The sad fact of the matter is that the security people can
{hand inspect, x-ray, hand inspect_AND_x-ray} all they want
and still not find any plastique. But I shutter at trying to
keep the two types of 'sniffers' en-route to major a/ps
working.


BTW, to the best of my knowledge, the x-rays won't alter the
diskettes. Your enemy is the magnetically leaky power
transformer right up top with the tube.
