Michael,

Being the paranoid type (and because I've watched '60 Minutes'), I've
always requested a visual, non-xray check of carryons (usually my brief
case) containing data tapes or film of any kind - exposed or unexposed.
 I would *never* send tapes as checked baggage, but you may not want to
carry on 150 DDS tapes, either.

Ya know, I have this nightmare of getting 150 phone calls the week
after IPROF all saying "Hey!  The tape is blank!".  Since I have to
hand-carry the things through airport security, I'm looking for
thoughts/suggestions/warnings/etc.

1) Should I check them as baggage, and hope they arrive?
2) If I carry them on, are the magnets in the  X-ray machine gonna
zap 'em?
3) What should I do?
