From long experience, including a trip to ZS6 with my K2 wrapped in newspaper in a plastic carrier bag, just days after 911.
1. keep the radio and/or parts in hand baggage. I have even hand carried a TenTec Hercules II to Sevierville and back from UK with only one person asking me to open the bag ! No-one asked to see my K3. 2. NEVER ever say you have something unusual ! I made that mistake with a an Omni-V and had to get personal clearance from the plane captain before they would even x-ray the thing (at Philadelphia.) And others were shoving laptops, record players and all sorts of junk through x-ray without being challenged. 3. Don't panic - whatever happens ! If you get visibly agitated, so will security. See 1 above. "Its just my travel radio ..." worked all the way to ZS6 from UK via Amsterdam, and back again.
