not to brag ....but I have worked for a major carrier for over twenty years. And have had extensive dealings with x-ray/mags/sniffers/wands/dogs....you get the idea.

x-rays aren't the prob for magnetic media(your memory), it's the magnets in the mags (magnetometer, the metal detectors you walk through) and wands(the plastic hand held devices they scan your persons with). It will erase or corrupt your memory. Keep it as far as possible away from both. But be reasonable and cooperative. You can be within several feet of them and still be pretty safe. Just be prepared to turn it on and make it do something and yes run it through the x-ray. same for the router.
