Tim,

I travel weekly within the US, and carry a whole backpack full of electronic
gear with me. I carry two notebooks, palm pilot, phone, hardware
firewall/router, and all the cabling that implies.

I've never had a problem with security. Yes, it can be a pain to open the
pack at take out two computers and put them in bins, but if you're worried
about X-Rays affecting your machine.... Don't. This TiPB has about 250,000
miles on it, been through X-Ray machines hundreds of times, and has worked
flawlessly throughout.

I can't say the same for a woman I saw put her DOG through the X-Ray machine
in Detroit a couple months back. The security scanner about fell out of her
chair in shock when she saw the images.... I wish I would have had my camera
gear out, would have made the front page of Life magazine (inside joke)....
None of the people in line could believe she had a dog in the bag either....
(yes, a live dog, not a stuffed animal)
