[Elecraft] Flying with a rig

[Lew Phelps K6LMP]

Varies by airport. sometimes they make me take it out and put it on a tray like they do with laptops.  Sometimes they make me empty out entire carrying case and fondle everything.  Either way, they almost always wipe it with the special paper and do an explosives check.

Helps if you tell them in advance what's in your K3 carrying case. And carry a copy of your license. 

Count on adding 5 to 10 minutes to your TSA pit stop enroute to gate at most airports.  JFK is the worst I've seen. LAX makes it quick and easy. Other airports vary in between.
