- The best recommendation is that you just take the disks out before
- going through the security checkpoint and hand them to the security
- personnel there. They can hand-check 'em... Same thing for Syquest
- and other removable cartridges, and computers themselves (you'll be
- asked to turn it on, anyway, if they see it on the monitor)...
