I've heard that it's unsafe to put a laptop through the xray machine at airports.. is this true?


It's probably a dumb question, but i have to fly tomorrow with my laptop and i don't want it to get screwed up since it's like two days old.

Hello

It is perfectly safe to put a laptop through an xray machine. I've put mine through heaps and no problems. The security officers using the machine guarantee it wont harm them.

would u rather it get x rayd or have the people throw it around that put the check bags under the plane

who knows

It will not hurt it. I have done it many times.

Some people think the x rays might damage your hard disk wipe of data but that is not true there is no problem putting it through.

it should be fine

i thought you got scared by edison chen scandal...i mean edison chen's laptop ...hahahahaha
