According to http://www.cheap-parking.net/gatwick/security-control.html electronic gadgets passing through the screening process will come to no harm but, if these items are in a bag or briefcase, you may be asked to operate them to prove their use.

I send my iPod and my regular cell phone through Heathrow's security every year and Have never had a problem, so hopefully you won't. Since your camera is digital, it should also be okay. Just dont send film through!!! Just make sure that they are off and you should be fine. Have a great trip

that's no longer the x-ray gadget you will possibly be able to desire to fret approximately. that's the retards they employ, flipping your soft kit around like that gorilla from the outdated Samsonite categorised classified ads it is the situation. continually %. your digital camera in a heavy accountability padded bag.

The X-Ray machines at the airport won't harm your devices however if you are concerned I'd recommend packing them into your hand luggage as these X-ray machines are less powerful than the ones used for your check-in luggage.

It shouldn't effect your camera. Make sure your cell phone is turned off though because, it could disrupt your service for a while afterwards. To double check, I'd go on http://www.tsa.com and scheck everything thats what i did on my last trip.

No - they pass through it far too quickly to cause any damage whatsoever
