[DM-MUG] Photo wallets (drives) versus a small iBook or PB... and solar power things

[Travis L Ballstadt]

I used to fly 4 days a week for work and always had my digital camera 
with me.  It's been through every major airport's xray system, and I've 
never had any issues.

Plus, these days, if you put it in your pocket, it's going through the 
xray anyway.  There's no way around it, except for putting it in your 
luggage, which just puts it through a different xray machine.
