Having just flown back and forth from California to New York, with my K3, Buddipole, etc., I can give an up-to-date report on TSA doings. I had the K3, PS cable, short length of RG-8X with two PL-259s, and my Kent paddle in the two side pockets of my K3 carrying case, and the K3 with foam inserts in the mid-section.
The bag went right through the security x-ray with no one asking me anything about it. The suitcase, which I checked, had the Buddipole, its tripod, a power supply, and mobile MFJ transmatch (plus clothes, tennis racquet, and toiletries bag). It, too, went through without disturbance. I know that because everything was exactly where I had placed it coming and going. This is in sharp contrast to my trip last summer where they went through the suitcase and succeeded in breaking the knobs on an MFJ antenna analyzer I had packed. So, maybe they're getting more used to nomad ham ops with stations in carry-on bags and suitcases. Rob K6RB > > I have not done this in recent years.
