The weirder and more complicated and more expensive the equipment looks, the more likely you will be hassled in my experience. Cases in point: ~ New DMM almost yanked at US customs in Vancouver because it looked "new." Tried to explain currency exchange rate. Package of dessicant burst in DMM hard

I've had no issues traveling with a DMM and its associated probes. However, I did travel one time with the Seaward analyzer and that set off the bomb detection machine. Not a very fun 30 minutes. ___ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address:
