[Elecraft] OT Carrying radios on commercial flight

[Neil Shubert]

I recently went to Florida with a whole GO kit, inside was 2 radios, 1 power
supply and 1 antenna tuner,  they looked at it, asked me what it was, and
wiped it down with swabs and it was ok,
The aluminum flakes in my pocket from the machining done earlier caused more
of a problem.
