Neither x-ray scanners nor metal detectors should pose a significant
threat to flash media.  Metal detectors may pose some threat to
magnetic media, but even then, I would think it more of a concern for
the lower coercivity media of floppy disks (if anyone remembers those)
than of hard drives.  In fact, since about 2006 when PMR came on the
scene, hard drives have been even more resistant to external magnetic
fields.
