On the other hand Kent, when I recently passed through Newark on my way
back from Colombia - I naturally fully expected to be at worst detained
for a few days, especially because I had this small 'sinister-looking'
('sinister looking' if you're a homeland security automaton, that is)
notebook-sized box, in peculiar brushed gold colour, with a few dials
and many levers. It's a BOSS BR-600, the latest in BOSS's portable
recorder line. When the 'What is that?' question came, I was fully
prepared to have to spark it up and give a little demo. But they just
said 'have a nice day'.**** OnT: I don't think much of the recorder for lengthy recordings - the proprietory file format architecture creates problems in transferring the data easily. However for 'song-by-song' sessions - meaning shorter (smaller) individual files I've found it to be fine.

Even after turning it on, explaining it was an audio recorder, they still had to call in 2 levels of management to decide it was OK to fly with. I wonder if they changed the design on the H2 because too many people thought the H4 looked like a Tazer.
