scanning at airports

[Bob.Page@eng.sun.com (Bob Page)]

The FAA (I think) recently said that it was OK to scan laptops;
outside the Northwest check-in at Logan there is now a video monitor
that said laptops and cameras should be scanned.

When I left San Francisco I had them hand-check the laptop, but not
the floppies.  When I returned through Logan, I didn't even take my
laptop out.  It survived with no problems.

I suspect that if the scanners at the airport are safe, the stand-up
scanners in stores and libraries are even safer.
