- Someone who travels often should do us all a favor and experiment. Pack
- 360K, 1.2M and 1.4M disks with data (one big ZIP file, perhaps) and put
- them in the luggage that will be X-rayed. Trying to unZIP the file will
- reveal if any of the data has been corrupted. If several people do this
- in several airports (a variety of X-Ray equipment) and post the results,
- we'll all know for sure.
-
- I'll do this, but you'll have to wait until the end of September to find
- out the results. :)
