[Elecraft] KX3 through TSA Security ?

[Paul and Sue Huff]

I just travelled round trip between Michigan and Arizona with a KX1 in my 
carry-on luggage.  The rig was inside some foam packing, with rubber bands 
around it, in a laptop case.  I also had a rack of 8 AA alkaline batteries, 
antenna wire, etc., along with an iPad, Kindle, digital camera, a couple of 
magazines, and a cell phone charger all in the case.  I sent the bag through the 
scanner without opening it up.  It didn't trigger an alarm and I was not asked 
to open it up or explain anything.  It was my first experience with taking radio 
gear on a plane and I was surprised.
