Take it and don't worry. Be prepared to power it (if it is battery
powered) as you go through security if you carry it on the plane. They
may ask a few questions about it... many times simply out of curiosity.
Checking it via luggage may cause it to get an extra check but you
won't know until you get your luggage. Inventory everything in the
luggage and take pictures of equipment if you are concerned about theft.
Don't lock your luggage other than the locks that TSA and everyone else
who wants one has a key for. Check airline insurance coverage to be
sure it is fully covered (Ham radio equip is expensive) in the event of
theft. It may be worth paying for additional coverage if needed.
About 4.5 million people fly per day and that does not change
significantly as the results of recent events. Although the news would
have you believe that nothing else in the world is going on besides what
they broadcast, for the most part you won't even notice as you travel.

...So, does anyone have opinions about the wisdom of taking radio/antenna
equipment right now?
