Help needed is this true

[shrob]

I was looking for travel bags for nintendo ds as I am going on holiday in May and want to take it with me.On a website I came across it says xray machines can damage the nds. Is this true? anybody had problems at airport taking nds in hand luggage?

I have taken my ds on a plane before and it hasn't been damaged at all

It can probably only damage the DS if it is'nt in i.e: a protective case, or between stuff within your luggage...

...I've never had problems with X-ray machines, people say they damage CD's and other stuff but none of the stuff mentioned to me (that I own) have ever been damaged - supposedly the X-ray machines wipe External Hard Drives, I took mine with me one time and it was unaffected (same as my CD's and other items were'nt affected)

Thanks for the quick reply I would really hate to have to have left it at home.

why put on luggage if you can carry it on the pocket, i always travel with my psp in the pocket and they dont say shit about it....
it seems that it will damage oon the xray thingy.
i recomend you to put the DS in your pocket and the games,etc in the hand bag luggage.....

What about when you go through the Metal Detectors at the airport, I'm always told to put my metal objects through the scanner (X-ray) when the metal detector goes off
