Airport Security (metal detector/xray): Effects on credit cards?
Sometimes I keep my wallet in my pocket, going through the metal detector, and sometimes I put my wallet in my attache case - going through the xray machine.
Most merchants find in difficult to use my credit card, by swiping it through the machine. Punching my credit card number, is of course, no problem.
What should I do, in the future, with new credit cards, to minimize the airport security detection effects on my credit card?
