Best bet, don't travel with a radio. PERIOD !!
Last year I took my K2 to Western Australia. It was in my carry-on on
the way over, and in my checked baggage on the way back. I flew
domestically and internationally on that trip since OZ isn't served from
Seattle.
Zero problems.
In hundreds of international flights pre- and tens post-9/11, this has
almost never been an issue. When it was, a careful, calm reaction to
questions always resulted in being able to take the equipment, either on
board or checked. Only once did I have to work my way past an obstinate
person, and that was hand-carrying a satellite (AO-51) to a launch
facility (Aeroflot to Moscow) enroute to Kazhakstan.
I *have* had things stolen from my locked, checked baggage, but that was
when I went to *very* 3rd world places.
