To answer the question is digital safe in airports?: the cards can be wiped
by strong magnetic fields i.e. The metal detector. So it is ok to have them
sent thru x-ray, not thru the metal detector.
Is digital good to shoot the N.Y. disaster? Nikon has set up a emergency
center to clean off the CCD's which are being trashed after 2~4 lens
changes. The soot in the air is coating the CCD at a pace that Nikon Techs
can barely keep up with.
