Mine has been Xrayed 100 times, no problem. I have had it pulled out of my bag 4-5 times. They ask "Is this a laptop? You're supposed to take laptops out of your bag." I can't imagine how TSA thinks a laptop computer got into that tiny form factor. They seem to think anything with a circuit board the scanner can recognize is a laptop. Frankly, I've given up thinking about it. I take it out and put it with my shoes in the bin without my laptop. This let's them see the big circuit board more clearly. They haven't mentioned it since.
