Digital Equipment and Airport X-Rays

I am traveling to Texas to shoot my brother in law's wedding (yes, I know,
weddings). I will be flying for the 1st time ever. (Yes, the 1st time ever.)

I know airport X-rays can hurt film. How about digital cameras themselves?
Any other practical considerations?

Not really much of a problem for digital. Security of checked luggage
is not all that good, so I suggest not checking your equipment. Some people
worry about magnetic issues, but I have not experienced or seen any evidence
of a serious threat from the magnetic sources in an air port.

Agree with carrying on camera.
Are you going to take a laptop, or are you going to be able to d/l images
onto a PC before you return?
When I travel and use film I try and get it processed before the return trip
home.
Remember the rules for carry on. Can carry on one bag and a
briefcase/camera case.
Good Luck.

They sell special bags to protect film from damage.

You should have nothing to worry about.

Any other practical considerations?

Be sure to have enough memory, extra batteries, and most importantly HAVE
GREAT TIME!
