In checked-in baggage X-ray machines, there is the ability to turn the power up and focus it considerably. That is apart from them being much stronger than the hand luggage machines, anyway. They can certainly penetrate those silly lead film safes that were touted a while ago.
That's true, but an intensity high enough to cause damage to your camera gear? I dunno. It's probably unwise to check camera equipment anyway, unless you're well insured. I always carry-on all my gear, and tailor the kit accordingly.
