The magnetism from the metal detector gate is more likely to cause problems
than the x-ray machine, although it probably generates a magnetic field, too,
if only from its power supply. Put your cassettes in a metal file box (make sure the box is not magnetized) and hand it to the gate security people to inspect
visually.
Have your computer inspected visually, too. Never check it as baggage. The x-rays are supposed to be weak, but better safe than sorry.
Have a nice trip.
