The biggest thing I would be worried about is magnetic media (like a floppy which some Sony digital cameras use, as well as computer floppy, Zip, and hard disks) being exposed to a magnetic field. With a checked item you never know where it goes, at least in a carry on you have some control. That said, I have travelled around a bit with my laptop and it hasn't had any problems yet. Potentially there could be problems with the circuitry getting damaged as well. In general, any sort of expensive equipment (digital and film cameras, laptops, etc) I suggest bringing in your carry ons. -- David Mueller / HNL kawika42@mac.com http://www.quanterium.com *** Read the Airline List FAQ at http://airlinefaq.tripod.com ***
