Surely with this magnet thing it would need to be a pretty decent magnet for it to interfere with something at at least half a metre a metre away?

Thanks for the input. Another question (prepare, because truthfully I know jack shit about the different types of monitors (LCD, CTR, etc). Don't a lot of older glass cockpits (MD-11, 767, 757's) have CRT monitors, meaning magnets would screw with the color and all that (like they would with a computer monitor, etc)?

Actually magnetized material is considered by IATA as being "Dangerous Goods" and thus must be shipped according to certain rules and regulations governing packaging and maximum limits.

OH NOZ0RS TEH MAGNETS ARE TAKED BY TSA!!!!!
That's what causes deviation in a 172....various electronics interfering with the magnets in the magnetic compass ...I hope you knew that...
