Just wondering whether anyone has any advice/experience with taking a laptop / compact flash cards onboard planes when travelling. Do the metal detectors/x-ray machines at airports nuke them or anything?
I'm flying up to Whitsundays in two days and want to make sure there's no chance of wiping out any photos etc..
If you are taking professional 35mm print/slide/transparancy film thru - ask it to be hand checked - I understand that IT DOES effect the quality of high end film - and at $22 a roll, stuff that !! - I want 100% quality
Normal "Kodak GOLD" type consumer stuff is generally fine for scanning without any flattening/washing of colours
CF Cards and the like are generally OK, treat them as you would a Hard drive as far as data integrity and handling goes etc...
