[Elecraft] OT Carrying radios on commercial flight

Same here.  The TSA workers often gravitate to my Begali Traveler and start 
asking questions about Morse code, why I use it, etc.  I think more than 
anything, they're intrigued by a polished gold electromechanical object and 
the Begali gets their attention.

I travel with one of two Pelican cases.  In the two years I've taken them on 
business trips, I've never had a problem with TSA.
I've got fairly comprehensive remote Internet station that fits in the 
smaller case.

I'm hoping for the day that in-flight Internet Wi-Fi access is reliable 
enough to allow for an "in air" QSO.  I see that ValueJet and American offer 
the service but I rarely use those airlines.
