- I can't speak for all airlines but United x-ray checked baggage when you
- check in, at the checkin area (at least in SF and LAX). And this is for
- international flights. I had a couple of boxes of disks in my baggage and
- they came through unscathed so it certainly wasn't magnetic. I also had
- a couple of videotapes in the baggage - haven't played them yet but
- they should also be unaffected.
