Atari Smeghead Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hello, your friendly neighborhood Smeghead here. I was in the shower this morning, and I had a thought: Did I already wash this part of my body? I was distracted cuz I got to thinking, if I pile all of my newly acquired Jaguar games into my suitcase, will the airport's security XRay machine cause any damage to them? After all, I understand that the machine they use to XRay suitcases can ruin film. But, can they do anything to CDs or cartridges? Anybody have first hand experience, who KNOWS it's safe or not? (Maybe Carl or Bruce/Cathy, or some other retailer who's gone to shows with a huge stockpile of games.) Thanks for any insite you can give. Oh, and in case you're wondering, I decided to rewash, y'know, in case I missed a spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 No, they won't hurt carts. I've taken my Jag through two different x-ray machines with no problems. (Didn't take the Memory Track though...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I've taken my prototypes through X-ray machines and they turned out fine. Don't worry. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysmith2000 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 No worries, it won't hurt 'em a bit. I'm flying to CGE this year, but am leaving the hardware behind (other than the Jag 2 which Glenn is bringing down). I'm more concerned with the airport losing or destroying a bag with Jag goodies in it. I wish I was driving, but just don't have the time this year. The good news is, it appears that I might be leaving the Bay Area for Las Vegas permanently in the next couple months. I have a job offer down that way. We will have one heck of a Jagfest next year if that's the case! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagWarlord Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'm more concerned with the airport losing or destroying a bag with Jag goodies in it. Thats what I have always feared. Guess i'll just have to wait for the next Philly Classic or if theres a Jagfest around Maryland.If im going to be going anywhere with my Jag stuff its going to be by car.

Atari Smeghead Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 Thanks, guys, for easing my worried mind. I figured it was unfounded, but I wanted to hear it from people in the know. Course, now I have to worry about what the baggage handlers will do to my stuff... It's still not gonna stop me from spending like a maniac! Hehe! See ya there!!

spongebue Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 You need to send those through an xray too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 You need to send those through an xray too Yes, but the baggage handlers don't mangle it for you Just don't buy anything you can't carry Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Smeghead Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 One word: Carryon. (Or is that two words?) Carrion... now THAT's one word! Tho I doubt anyone'll want to sit near me if I bring carrion luggage... heh. But seriously, yeah... I'm gonna hafta decide, at the end of my Vegas stay, do I put 'em in the suitcase and hope for the best, or do I stuff 'em in the overhead compartment and hope no one tries to cram a big bag on top of it. Have ya SEEN an idiot trying to cram a too-big bag into one of those things? It's only funny if you're not directly involved. Just don't buy anything you can't carry Well..individually, it won't be a problem. But my list of probable purchases is growing, and I ain't even there yet! In fact, I just found $40 on the sidewalk on the way home from work today, so I can buy even more stuff! ----------------- Well hey, this'll be the last time I check this site before I fly out, so I hope I'll get a chance to meet some of ya at CGE!

Have ya SEEN an idiot trying to cram a too-big bag into one of those things? It's only funny if you're not directly involved. I don't live in America But seriously, what about the 'forgotten' storage space under the seat in front? compromises your legroom a little but it's hardly an 11-hour flight Well hey, this'll be the last time I check this site before I fly out, so I hope I'll get a chance to meet some of ya at CGE! Well, you won't see that then...nevermind... Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Smeghead Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 ...what about the 'forgotten' storage space under the seat in front? compromises your legroom a little but it's hardly an 11-hour flight Stone Actually, that's what I did with my little carry-on bag, stuffed to the breaking point with Jaguar and Lynx products! I felt safer having it with me, and in a place where I was the only one who could cause my stuff any damage. ...and it all arrived in tip-top shape! Yay!
