- X-rays shouldn't bother magnetic devices (hard disks,diskettes, etc.).
- Magnetic scanners will like those hand-held scanners airport security
- personnel use when you set off the alarm. The thingy you walk through
- is also magnetic and will hose disks. X-rays will wipe out unexposed
- and unprocessed film.
