The x-rays won't affect the hard drive. My iPod, computer, external drives,
and thumb drives go through the X-ray just as often and I've had no
problems. X-rays can fog film, so if you are taking a 35mm camera be
careful.
Altitude has more to do with pressure than actual distance. Even when you
are flying at 36,000 ft, the cabin of the plane is pressured to about 5 to
6,000 ft. According to Apple, the iPod is good to 10,000 ft, but that
really means it's good down to the pressure (or lack of pressure) the drive
will encounter at 10,000. In a pressurized airplane, you and your iPod will
be fine, regardless of how high the plane really is.

Subject: [Apple iPod] Flight Damage
Hi Everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!
I haven't flown on a commercial airline since 1996 (pre Sept. 11th)
I am flying to New Orleans this coming Monday and I was
wondering .........
Is there any damage that will or could occur to my 5th Generation
Video ipod? from the Metal Detector? High Altitude? The "Wand" that
Security waves over your body?
Anything else?
Thanks in advance.
