[Elecraft] OT Carrying radios on commercial flight

[Mark Stennett]

I recently carried my K3 and IC-7000 aboard Southwest. I have carried my
radios aboard Delta in the past. The carrier you fly does not matter, you
deal with TSA at security. I always leave my radios in the bag and they
always pull it for additional checks which range from the wipe and sniff
to full manual inspection. I have never been asked to power them up. They
are always more interested in my Begali Sculpture CW paddle. I also always
travel with laptop computers which they want you to take out of the case
and place in a bin by themselves.

I go home again Monday with the radios. Check us out at http://www.c6ams.com
