Can airports detect downloaded music?

My cousin is flying for a Vacation and she has downloaded music on her mp3. If they put her carry on through a scanner can it detect the music?

  • The X-Ray scanner cannot see the music on the MP3 player, let alone where she downloaded it from.

    She has already been tracked when she originally downloaded the music...

  • Why does it matter? Mp3's are used for listening to music..so who cares if it detects the music? If you are asking if the alarm thing will go off if it detects music, no it won't. Music players are allowed on planes, therefore there is no alarm if they find one on you. Of course, you can't take it through the scanner anyway because it will go off if the Mp3 is like metal or has any metal in it. She'll have to sit it in those little boxes they put beside the scanner for your stuff.

  • Why does Yahoo allow these questions? I don;t mind gag questions at all - Will the FBI know that I'm using Limewire?; what if HomeLand Security scans my iPod and finds all the movies I ripped from DVD?; Is it true that if you're caught with a knock-off iPod, you get sent to Nigeria?

    I don't; mind gag questions when they're funny.

    But this guy has basically posted the same gag message that half the idiots on YA posts.

    You can be funny and unoriginal, but not at the same time.

  • Definitely, you better have her delete all of it. At every major airport they have a machine that detects downloaded music. It looks similar to the walk-through metal detectors.

  • Most places, like airports, can detect anything you have downloaded on their network, but most places don't care to look through there networks because they are more worried about others like bombs and drugs!

  • No. They are not worried about downloaded music taking down a plane.

  • Anyone anywhere can detect anything and everything anyone downloads.

  • Not unless you are broadcasting the fact.
