Hard Drives and planes.

[agent006]

I've got 3 hard drives to take with me on an internal flight tomorrow. A few questions.

Will the Xray machine damage them, i'm not bothered about the data, just need to be re-formattable.

Will they actially be allowed on the plane (easyjet)? In a cardboard box with IBM written on it. As hand luggage?

If you are really worried, why not just ship them ahead of you by courier and have them sat waiting the other end

I'm taking them to avoid having to pay for shipping and a flight!!

I'll just have to take the chance that the checkin and security people can tell the difference between hard-drives an a bomb.
