  I just put the K3 in a a bin as if it were a laptop computer or other 
large, electronic device.  Rarely get a question and never had a problem 
on domestic or international flights.

Well, not completely true, I did have a problem once getting on an 
Aeroflot flight from JFK to Moscow (enroute to Kazakhstan), but I and 
the other four guys I was with were carrying on three (3) complete 
spacecraft and one container with the separated solar panel assemblies 
for all three satellites.  We had lots of hurdles to deal with!  And TSA 
wasn't the problem -- we'd called in advance to alert them :-)

73,
