Am not too sure if that X-ray machine at the Airport security checkpoint can damage the components of a laptop but if you are curious to know how your laptop might appear to the security guy inside, here are some real pictures.

Laptop under the X-ray machine

The images was captured by Nick Veasey who uses X-Rays to capture the inner photographs of everyday objects like a city bus, an iPod, his shoes, the remote of a TV and even a full-size Boeing 777 jet.

You can downloads Nick’s collection as a PDF file or head over to Telegraph for his more recent work. Hat tip Ilya Vedrashko.
