Yes. None of the items you mentioned would be affected by the security screening devices, I hesitated momentarily about the Epson P-4000, but then remembered a friend has put it through X-ray check when he went to England with no ill effect, and when you think about it, hard drvies in laptop computers survive this process probably hundreds of thousands of times in airports around the world every day and there has been no complaints in that respect. > Anything I am not thinking of? If you are carry the equipment on, (and you definitely should given the cost of the gears you are talking about vs. checking them through in the luggage), airport security staff will almost certainly ask to visually check the gear again and likely swab the bag for explosive chemical vapor, so don't throw in a match book or anything like that in the camera gear bag unless you want to be delayed significantly. Other than that , bring a set of disposable ear plugs, they work extremely well blocking out the constant droning from the jet engines.
