[Elecraft] travel with a K3

[Andy Faber]

Eric,
  I've always carried mine in a  backpack, cushioned with bubble wrap, 
towels, etc.  It's  been set aside by TSA and run through the scanner by 
itself, and swabbed, but never had a problem.  Never been asked to turn it 
on (I don't carry the PS).  TSA at SFO seems to spot it, but they never do 
leaving Aruba with it.
