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.

"Seriously..." I'd like to see you use these magnets to glue your laptop to the tank. Not gonna work. Why? Because they are pretty weak.
There's a difference between those magnets and the ones on a tank bag, which are generally super strong to keep the bag in place. A laptop does NOT belong in a magnetic tank bag.
