Seriously...

The power plug on the Macbook Pro IS a magnet. The macbook has a magnet permanently attached to the side for the MagSafe connector. Also, the Macbook Pro has magnets in the body that hold the screen closed as well. Then there are magnets in the cooling fan, inside the hard-drive, inside the CDROM, inside the speakers...yeah. Also, the macbook pro uses a magnet to tell it when to go to sleep, and interesting side effect is that if a really strong magnet gets near the macbook, it will go to sleep, protecting the HDD.

I wouldn't worry about magnets affecting your Macbook Pro...now those cheapo' PC's that's a whole other story.

Ive had my macbook pro, ipads, ipods, and iphones in a magnetic tankbag and never had a problem.
