I'd be wary of American X ray machines (the big ones at least like in LAX). They will destroy any negative film you may have, and erase and generally mess up hard disks etc.. in your main luggage. Don't know about SMCs though. Best bet is to keep it in hand luggage. (British x ray machines are kinder and 10 years ahead of the americans).
Your more at risk from stuff being broken if you miss a flight since at heathrow there is a mechanical boxing glove system that literally punches out bags from the conveyor belt. They then fly through the air intoa skip. So basically don't ever miss a flight!

Yes, but only when the captain tells you to

Smartmedia Cards are just non-volatile memory laminated onto a card. They are almost completely impervious to magnetic fields, unlike Floppies and Hard-drives which rely on them, as they use electric fields not magnetic. At the very most a few electrons could be liberated, which would cause one or two files to lose a few bits. Any x-ray stronger then that would cause your bags to catch fire.

I looked at the big fat list of electronics allowed in a plane, and GP32 wasn't there (GB was)
. But I guess it's becuase no one knows about it . Or mabye Nintendo is in a conspiracy with the airline companies, and they will confiscate the GP32 next time you use it . Or mabye the SMC access releases high power waves that permanently disable the airplane's communication, and start a reaction that blows the fuel up B).

It is gigantic.
Yupp. I use to cover mine in cocaine when I'm taking flights. That distracts all the x-rays.

I've flown a bunch of times domestically with my gp, and or a laptop. I've never had trouble with either them being in cabin luggage or in cargo. I suppose mechanical shock is possible, but the xray machines don't do anything to them. The rule with all the airlines I've travelled with (not many to be fair), is that you can't have them switched on 20mins after takeoff or 20mins before landing.
the gp is great for flying, it's not huge like a laptop and when you wanna sleep you can chill to some quiet tunes... well i do.
I also carry other electronic goodies for work, things that you might expect to be damaged by xrays (well i would have thought so); usually stuff with some sort of non-volitile memory like CF cards, or eeproms / proms / fpgas. Weirdo circuit boards with lotsa crazy sensative stuff connected to them. There has never been a problem with the xray machine. I some times get some strange looks from the security people tho.

I flew to San Diego from NY and back with my GBA, GP32 and my laptop all in my carry on luggage, they didnt seem to have a problem at all going or coming.

Going to Spain a few months ago we were banned from using GBAs, GP32s, laptop computers, even my iPod ... for the duration of the entire flight. Not sure what I'm supposed to f%%£$ing do then!! I can't even see how laptops, let alone iPods, can damage air communications if they have no network stuff plugged into them. Mindless paranoia and scaremongering ...
