Hi there. I took a trip last week with my book port, and did not have any
problems. I'm assuming that my bag was put through one of these machines.
Anyway, my book port was fine.

the BP on the plane. I was just curious if there was anything to do to
protect it, specifically the card, from the x-ray machine.

with my braille lite, and it wasn't until many years afterwards until I once
read on the blindtech listserve that note takers shouldn't be put through
the machine, and that a hand want was a lot safer for it, though I don't
know why. I thought files were saved by some means of magnetism, and don't
medal detectors work on similar principles? Either way, should I be weary
of my card going through either the x-ray machine or the hand wand?
