x-rays & reel-to-reel tape

Happy Thanksgiving, all who celebrate it tonight;

...and a question: visiting my mother in Seattle.  She found and is giving
me a box of reel-to-reel tapes from the 70's which include my first
burblings (now there's a recording! I wonder what mic they used...) and my
folksinger uncle Art [Thieme] performing live around that time. These are
irreplaceable, needless to say, and I'm wondering how best to get them
back to SF with me.

Might they be safely X-rayed at the airport tommorow?  I *assume* so and
don't imagine they do any sort of magnetic imaging... but I'd hate to be
wrong and harm/ruin the tapes.  The deck I figure I can always eventually
replace (if it's damaged in transit).

Thought I'd query the Group-mind on the off chance anyone's still up at
this hour!

Best,

 aaron
