CCDs are damaged by X-rays, they bleach and suffer other problems, there is plenty of technical information on the web to confirm this. However information relative to airport x-ray systems and consumer DSLRs seems to be nil. I suppose it's much like film vs x-rays, despite the warnings and documentation there are still a lot of photographers out there who will swear that multiple x-ray passes had absolutely no effect on their exposed 800 ISO print films :-) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
