Digital Camers & Airports?
Just wondering.....
Do we need to take any precautions with our digita camera and memory cards before going through those Airport x-rays ?

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
We wanted our memory cards and camera to go through separately but the security people pretty much laughed at us and said, "Nothing will happen." They seemed really put out that we even asked. So we sent it through xray. Nothing happened. I still worry about it, though.

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
Not a problem with digital. Throwback to older XRay machines that would fog SOME films - mainly professional (more sensative) films.
Using film best to have xray proof film bags - they will hand search most likely.

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
If you have immortalized your memories on celluloid....Do NOT pack the film in your suitcase in Florida...the x-rays will hurt them.

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
I've gone through aorport x-ray with my digital camera cards full, and there was no loss or problems! Even going through that giant x-ray at Orlando International with regular film! My camera with all my pictures on regular film was packed in a suitcase full of clothes, and for some reason the x-rays did not damage the film like the technicians told me it would! Weird huh?!

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
Thanks guys.
This will be our first time going "digital" only. When we brought our 35mm & film we had always used that special x-ray protection bag.

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
You're safe. I can't count how many times I've had my digital camera scanned. Nothing has ever happened. And you will have so much fun with the digital. I love it!

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
I've taken my digital camera and memory cards through the airport scanners countless times and never had any problems, nor have I heard of anyone having any. I'm sure you'll be just fine!

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
Being a veteran traveler… I travel every two to three months (that means I am gone ¼ of the year…YUCK!) Anyway, I take my digital camera and camcorder with me all the time. Right in my laptop case. If you are using FILM whether it be camera or camcorder, TSA recommends that you remove the FILM and hand it to them. I always tell my family and friends, don’t have film in your camera, they may open the camera to examine it and “POOF” there goes your photos…
Hope I have helped.

Re: Digital Camers & Airports?
Digital cameras, portable DVD players, laptops, camcorders..all can go through the Xray machines safely.
But whatever you do, don't try to bring a Sierra Mist through.
