TSA scanners and balck strips on Credit or Gift cards ?

[pooh2001]

We have not flown in 5 years .

TSA scanners - the kind tou dump all your stuff like keys, camera, sneakers, wallet.... into a tub and it goes into an extra type thing.

Does the TSA scanner affect credit cards - the black strip on the back that is read by credit card machines ?
What about Disney Gift cards ? They have that black strip on the back.

How show we handle our Disney gift cards and Credit cards when we go through secuirty at the airport ?

It's never affected my credit cards, anything with a magnetic strip, etc, and I always place my purse with my wallet inside through the x-ray machine. I fly several times a year.

That scanner is x-ray...might affect film, but doesn't affect cards like that.

I fly all the time for work and have never had anything affected. They are inside my wallet inside my purse.

As the PP stated: TSA scanners for your personal effects use Xays so won't affect magnetic strips.

Film? What is this... film of which you speak? It reminds me of something my ancestors revered...
