Go to http://www.compactflash.org/ and click on the headline "risk of irradiation" and read the PDF. It states that irradiation will fry CF but airport scanners will NOT damage compact flash devices. The Jan/Feb ASMP Bulletin page 14 says the same. http://www.compactflash.org/ is the Compact Flash Association. They are the that know.
