The effect of airport security on my camera equipment??

Hello all. I'm leaving town for part of this Christmas holiday to go to Atlanta. Funfun.

ANYWAYS, the friend I'm visiting wants me to bring my camera. I REALLY don't want to have the camera ride with the luggage, for I'm worried that it will be smashed to bits when I get it if I even receive it at all.

So what will happen at airport security when I have to put the bag through the X-Ray machine? I know that nothing extremely improbable will occur: nothing will explode, Michael Jackson won't make a comeback, but I wonder what kind of effect this will have on my camera and on my tapes. Does anyone know?

Thanks a lot!

Laptops go through just fine as well as my video camera which is a digital 8mm camera btw. So you should have no problems, my camera still works just fine. The only thing you should give them seperatly are any pre-recorded tapes as magnetism can still mess those up.

Cool! Thanks a lot! I'd love to hear if anyone has ever experienced any problems at all, but it sounds as if I'm cool.
