Um, that doesn't sound good, could have flat lined. ---------------
Theoretically the x-ray machines shouldn't hurt them. If they are going to get hurt it is at the hands of a human, whether that be TSA, daughter, etc.
If it isn't out of warranty then I would call the manufacturer and see what they have to say about it. Even if it is out of warranty I would call and ask, if they say it will cost up front tell them good bye and go to option 2.
