I have been travelling 1-2 times a week for the last 4 years with my laptop and it has been x-rayed every time. And it still works like a dream :)
although my worst nightmare would be that when i boot up the machine a Windows os would appear *lol* /Jonas -----Original Message----- From: Joris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 11 februari 2003 07:15 To: [email protected] Subject: airline travel with hitech gear? (a bit offtopic) Hi, I know it has little to do with debian on laptops (altough a non-windows OS booting meight look suspecious to customs), but: What advice can experienced travellers give me on flying with a laptop? I don't want to take any chances with the baggage (especially since I won't have a direct flight), so I'll have to keep it in the hand-luggage. Can laptops (and digital photocameras) survive the xrays used? Or should I remove the tech gear and offer it for in spection to the guards? (Or wrap it in alu foil? :p) Any other usefull hints are also welcome... -- Greetings Joris [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 25569167 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
