A year ago in San Juan I went through trouble with my QR Allen wrench. I guess it must be possible to dismantle the aircraft with that little wrench. San Juan airport seems the most sensitive. I've never had issues in my home airport of Boston. Flash cards are pretty hardy devices. I'm not sure if the high powered X-rays are strong enough to induce EMF damage inside the chips? I would think the magnetic domains in a laptop disk drive would be more sensitive than flash memory.
