I just got back from a "send an engineer to appease a loud customer by sending an engineer" trip... Now if you ever want a guy why looked like he was doing something weird it was me!!!
I took two bags. A barely qualifies for carry on sized suit case with a single change of clothing and an Agilent MSO6104 oscilloscope in it. Then a bag full of all my spare cables and random electronics parts and a laptop. About the only thing that was going for me was that I had a round trip ticket and I was only "staying" at my final destination for about 5 hours. Ended up being a 2.5 day period with no sleep so I'm sure I looked a bit haggard going through security too but I was given little resistance. The worst thing was that someone asked if I had a computer in the suitcase. I said no its an oscilloscope. I could see them say... (a what?). They then said we're going to have to open it up and take a look. I said certainly let me help you with that. They then backed it up and looked at it in the X-Ray again and decided they didn't really need to look inside and they let me go on my merry way. TSA is actually pretty darned reasonable from my experience. ~Brett (KC7OTG) On Thu, 2010-01-28 at 04:55 +0000, Ken Kopp wrote: > One of Rose's customers who's just returned from an overseas > trip commented that the TSA folks showed little interest in his > K3, and that this may have been due to it being hand-carried > in an obviously made-for-the radio brand-labeled carry case. > > 73!
