[Elecraft] Airport Security-No trouble

2004-07-08 Thread Peppino Berria 
Hi Folk, I'm just coming back home to Italy from
Texas. I put into my handbag an Icom IC706MKIIG and no
trouble I had through the US customs. They didn't
asked me to open the handbag. The inspector only asked
me if I had portable computer. On my shoulder I had a
Sony-set (videocam and camera) and they controlled it
accurately. Into the shipped luggage I put an Icom
antenna tuner, two Weller solder station (WESD51 and
WTCPT), a portable antenna (MP1 by Elecraft),tips by
Weller, a DMM, an AC Ammeter probe by RadioShack,a
Panavise work station, Kester solders and many other
items. When I opened the bag at home I've found a TSA
paper and TSA sticks meaning that they checked
everything accurately.. The only problem could be
through the italian customs. They asked me anything
to declare? an iron solder I answered them. go
ahead. So, all OK!

Interesting. It varies from place to place. I took my K2 to ZS6, on 12/11. 

Yes. I took my FT100D through two airports last month (my K2/100 stays safe at 
home). 
No problems with security either place. At O'Hare, an inspector asked what it 
was, but 
only as a matter of curiosity.  CB radio? he asked. No, ham radio, I 
replied. Looks 
like a real nice one.  Yes, it is.  On the return trip, the crew at 
Sacramento didn't even 
notice it.
