I have a Transcend flash drive which was working perfectly OK with my laptop. During a recent air travel I was subjected to complete scanning of luggage. After arriving home, I found my flash drive no more working with my laptop. Can anybody tell the possible reason? can a flash drive be damaged in airport scanner?
can a flash drive be damaged in airport scanner?

I've put portable and internal hard drives and USB drives through airport security and it's always come out fine. You've probably just got a broken drive.

It's unlikely it was caused by the airport scan...(there some level of radiation but i don't think it can broke the drive)
if u ask what can be cause... the one i can think of that cause flash disk to broke...
- Low quality parts or manufacturing defect (i will break sooner)
- Electrical short..
- Rough treatment (physical damage)
- high temp (this not noticeable, it reduce the reliability over time)
