Portable hard drive through airport security?

I'm considering moving across the country and trying to plan some
details of the move. I have a portable USB hard drive that contains
some confidential info (I.e. passwords) that somehow needs to get from
where I live now to where I'll be moving. -- First, don't anyone say
not to store passwords on a portable drive because I use a different
one for each account, for security, and I have way too many too
remember them all. -- I figure the most secure way to store the drive
is to keep it either locked away or with me at all times, rather than
with whatever moving service I use.

I'm not worried about the metal detector. What I'm wondering is if
security will let the item through. It would be a drive by itself, so
I'd have no way to demonstrate it working, like I've heard is often
asked of laptop users. Would they simply let it be X-ray scanned then
allow it through?
