Yes, airport security X-ray screening does not normally erase drive data, and the bigger travel risks are drops, theft, and battery mistakes. Travelers carry external hard drives through airports every day, yet the same worry keeps popping up: will the scanner fry the drive, wipe the files, or leave you with a dead device before

Yes, many exchange visitors can request tourist status, but the two-year home-country rule, timing, and weak travel plans can stop approval.
