Can airport Xray-scans damage DVDR or CDR media?

Postby GizmoC on Tue May 06, 2003 11:00 am

I bought around 30 DVDRs and CDRs filled with anime for a lotta money.
The guy is sending it to me via UPS.

I was just wondering that while the stuff passes thru customs of my country and his country is it possible that it can get damage? or the data can get corrupted with the X-ray machines or something?

Would really help if someone could give me an educated answer to make peace my mind :P

Regards.

I wouldn't worry about it. X-rays can interact with unexposed photographic film and cause fogging due to the cumulative effect of multiple passes, but this is not a problem with optical discs.

Optical discs also have no magnetic fields subject to corruption, so would not be subject to any electromagnetic interference.
