[Elecraft] Semi-OT: Traveling by air with KX3 & Buddistick

[Nicklas Johnson]

After my last trip, when I got hassled by the TSA about my wire stripper
(no tools longer than 7 inches, even ones that couldn't possibly hurt
anyone), I thought this time I should probably ask around first...

Has anyone traveled with a KX3 and a Buddistick in carry-on luggage?  I've
got NiMH batteries installed in the KX3, and in the Buddistick bag there's
the antenna itself and a couple spools of 25' of coax.

It seems like it SHOULD be okay, unless they mistake segments of the
Buddistick for Billy Clubs, which aren't allowed in carry-on (but are okay
in checked luggage).

But you never know these days... has anyone tried it, either successfully
or unsuccessfully and can share experiences?
