[Elecraft] Airport security

[George, W5YR]

One trap to avoid with the live demo is the potential question, "This thing
got a battery in it, huh?"  "Yes." "Oh, what kind?" Better do some fast
thinking about your answer just in case they decide to verify what you say
by asking you to open the case.

Highly unlikely, but nevertheless . . .
