The Washington Bible is handled only with gloved hands and travels with three St. John"s Lodge members at all times. It does not go through X-ray machines, even at airports. The repeated low-level radiation could cause the ink, which is vegetable-based, to deteriorate, according to Garfunkel.Although rumors persist that the Bible does not fly on airplanes - the plot device that prevented it from being used at President "Jed" Bartlett's second inaugural on the television show "The West Wing" - the Bible has been transported by plane, train, automobile, subway, taxicab, limousine and private car.
"Book was used at inaugural of 1st U.S. president"
