Does anyone know if it is ok to put the 2610 with CF Card in through an airport Xray Machine? Thanks George

Yes it is. The CF card is the same as used in many digital cameras and they don't get wiped by airport scanners.

If you are very worried about losing data on the CF card, hand it to the scanner team and explain that it contains sensitive data and you wish to have it checked by hand instead of X-rayed to prevent risk of data loss. So long as they can handle and visually inspect the item I doubt there would be a problem.
