Hi jackjan,
I've been on 4 trips with my digital camera (w/smartmedia cards).
I have kept the cards in the carryon bag, and have had no problems with the scanning, etc. I have had no experience with the possible effects (on S/M cards) of the scanning of checked bags, so I can't help out there, except to suggest that you put all your photo equip in your carryon.
good luck,
Mike

The answer is yes according to the info on This Site
Since you are not an American I don't know what your rights are as respects hand inspection of camera equipment. The last time I checked there was a law on the books in the USA stating you had the right to have your camera gear inspected manually.

I found This FAA Regluation re manual inspection of camera gear etc. Not sure if its up to date due to all the new laws passed since 911.
