External Hard Drive and X-Ray Machines?

I've run my notebook through airport x-ray lots of times.

I bet they take a long, hard look at that external drive

I'm also interested in knowing if carrying 1-2 external HDD causes problems with security. I know data doesn't get compromised but what about the bs where electronics have to be functional to prove they aren't a bomb ?

You'll be putting them in a plastic tray along with your shoes and computer, then they go through the xray. No big deal, no damage. no need to power on. The xrays can detect organic substance which you shouldn't have in those external drives.

Thanks for all of the input guys. I guess I'll find out in the morning.
