  But will they understand what they see?

  As far back as 1990 I was hassled by "airport security"
  (pre-TSA) over an Icom Hand-held that was in my carry-on bag. I
  fly very infrequently (last time was 2007 with none in the
  foreseeable future) but now that everyone has cellphones they
  might be more familiar with hand-held radio equipment.
