I've done it accidentally twice, although that was a while ago with 
much older laptops. No harm done, but newer laptops do have tighter 
tolerances.

I do remember reading an article a long, long time ago regarding 
floppies going through x-ray. No harm the first 3-4 times, but the more 
the floppies went through the more they degraded. So I wouldn't make a 
habit of it.

Oh wait, I thought you were talking about x-ray. The stories I've heard 
about airport security screening it is most definitely hazardous. Like 
the FBI agent who was allowed to take his gun, but not his nail file.
