Well, I just got a new PNY usb drive and it passed through an airport scanner yesterday.

For some reason, I wrote to it and then tried to read from it today, and it gave me a corrupted error!

chkdsk reports errors like:

Bad links in lost chain at cluster 1179 corrected.
Lost chain cross-linked at cluster 1200.  Orphan truncated.
Lost chain cross-linked at cluster 1228.  Orphan truncated.
Lost chain cross-linked at cluster 1236.  Orphan truncated.
Lost chain cross-linked at cluster 1237.  Orphan truncated.
Lost chain cross-linked at cluster 1244.  Orphan truncated.
Lost chain cross-linked at cluster 1250.  Orphan truncated.
Lost chain cross-linked at cluster 1266.  Orphan truncated.
Lost chain cross-linked at cluster 1278.  Orphan truncated.

etc.

What is this from? Could it possibly be from the airport scanner, or is it likely a defective USB chip?

How can I check the chip to see if I should just return/throw it away or continue to use it?
