No. Low dose x-ray equipment does not harm credit card data.
Airport security equipment uses low-dose/low-energy X-rays; it cannot change magnetic data (digital information encoded on the strip).
X-rays are light, they are photons. In a rainbow, the spectrum of all visible light (and beyond) is spread out. X-rays also have a spectrum, a variety of possible energies, so X-rays are not all the same.
This is not a concern with airport secutiry equipment, which does its job very well at tiny power levels.
Their side effect is "direct" in that they ionize electrons, which may sometimes "decouple" or break chemical bonds in molecules that directly stop them. Breaking a few chemical bonds in a credit card will not erase the magnetic data. And the bit of heating that accompanies an x-ray is not detectable by anything but the most sensitive laboratory equipment.
Not DVD's - but they can destroy video tape (like those in camcorders) and audio tapes too. If you have any of those, you'd be better off taking them in your hand luggage so customs can examine them with out using x-rays.
As long as the dog isn't kept in there for too long, it should be fine. Airport security should take the dog out of its carrier before that carrier goes through, though. The dog should then be taken, in your arms, through the walk through scanner. They can also just use the handheld scanner.
NO can hurt film depending on speed of film
absolutely not..they must be x-rayed or you can not take them.
No it can not, but they like you to separate them from their bag when going through the xray machine.
The X-ray itself will not, however the rubber belt that carries your device can
sometimes carry a static charge that can damage your device.
Yes an airport xray will pick up a diamond or multiple. ( source airport worker )
If in doubt, take it by hand. Pass the digital picture frame to security and be prepared to show them that it really is just a picture frame
X-ray machine can't see though led
If it's switched off it shouldn't do much harm
"You must first complete a 2 year program in medical disciplines including certifications in the use of radiologic equipment such as XRay machines, MRI machines and CT scan machines."
I think it's a colorized Xray (think airport screening) of a broken vibrator.
Unlikely. X-rays aren't good at detecting soft tissue damage.
The airport x-ray machine works the same way as what a hospital or a doctors office would use. X-rays pass through objects that are less dense and stop at those objects that are dense, and the dense objects will show up as white on the screen.
X rays show up the damage that arthritis does to bone and will show the proximity of one bone to another which indicates damage or wear to cartilage.
X rays can determine bone density and reveal gastrointestinal disturbances, and heart and lung damage.
Over-exposure can cause soft tissue damage, burns, sterility , and possibly cancer.
The full-body scanners use radiation that doesn't really penetrate skin to any significant degree, so no, not really. If they're using actual x-ray machines, then they can "see inside your mouth" to the same extent any x-ray machine can. Most airports in the US do not routinely scan passengers using X-rays (they do routinely scan LUGGAGE using X-rays, though).
