Can any of the following be damaged by airport X-RAY machines?
No, they will not, the x-ray machine does not put out enough radiation material to damage lab tops or digital cameras memory cards, they are both magnetically stored so causes no damage to them. Neither will the gift card be damaged, but if you don’t feel comfortable with the gift card going thru the x-ray you could have it hand checked. You will even be asked if you haven’t done before hand to remove your lab top from it’s casing. I see people have stated that film will be damaged which is true, but only if 800 mm or above. Film under 800 will not be damaged, but again if not comfortable you can ask for a hand check. Don’t worry none of your items will be damaged, I fly a lot and am also the x-ray operator who checks your property thru that x-ray your so worried about.
