I think it's essentially the same as putting a laptop through the scanners but I have no personal experience with portable storage devices. Thinking of getting one though. What I like about the FlashTrax is that it has a little monitor so you can actually see the images that are stored. Kind of a nice visual confirmation that they are actually there. Be prepared to explain to the security folks at the airport what it is and maybe demonstrate it. It doesn't exactly look like a laptop (no keyboard) and some of those people aren't too sharp.
