I didn't trust the machines so I carried the tapes on my person - bad idea.
The bleeping thing went off and the bloke searched me. He told me off for carying them when I should have put them through the machine and told me to stand against the wall like a criminal... legs and arms akimbo.
He then checked my shoes for explosives.
No exploding shoes and my DV worked so I was a happy bunny.

I took my Mini DV camera to the US with me and it went quite happily through X-ray machines, memory stick and tapes with no adverse effects.
I wouldn't take that as a rule for all DV cameras but nothing happened to mine.

Remind me not to get mine out when we arrive at Charles de Gaulle airport then - they got guns n stuff.
I fly about once a fortnight and always take mine. The only thing the x-rays have affected is my tpyngi.
I don't think the x-rays would damage it, as my dad has taken his 3 times, and it's still fine!
That also reminds me...about 2 years ago my dad went to Cyprus with his friend, they arrived at Larnaca airport, and he got out his camera and began filming the airport. Suddenly, he's surrounded by several Cypriot guards with guns, who think he's a spy!! But luckily his friend was from Cyprus, so he explained what they're doing, and they carried on with their holiday.
This is true as they've both confirmed it, and my dad is the only one who'd lie.

I'd look in the manual under the makers reccomendations. The media will definaltley wipe (DV Cassette, memoery Stick etc) but not sure about the Hardware it's self. Always read the manual:-)
