Airport Xray scanner harmful to integrated chips?


Hi all, I have couple of TDA1541 S2 chips that I'm going to take along with me for a trip. Does anyone know if the airport security scanner that uses Xray can damage integrated chips?

If it did we'd have a hard time shipping them by air. (People and cargo in planes actually get exposed to a fair amount of cosmic radiation because of the altitude.) And we wouldn't use them because of unreliability.

People routinely take electronics (including digital camera media) through airport scanners without ill effects.

I don't expect you'll have any problems.
