[amsat-bb] Re: [50mhz] Radios in carry on luggage

2011-02-22 Thread d...@kd4e.com
I had two HTs, a magnesium case older-model Toughbook, two large
spare batteries, a package of AA alkaline batteries and other
electronics and had no trouble.

However, the process can be highly arbitrary and directives from
Dept. of Homeland Security/TSA can change suddenly, so be prepared
for the unexpected and downright weird ...

 I am planning a couple of grid expeditions that will involve commercial
 flights, and wonder what experiences others have had with taking radios in
 their carry on luggage. Does TSA get very involved in this?  Did you have to
 take it out of the case?  Demonstrate it?  Was it a bunch of hoops to jump
 through, or very smooth sailing?
