[Elecraft] KX3 through TSA Security ?

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Strange what gets inspected, and what doesn't.

When I'm flying, I always pack my suitcase using gallon "ziplock" bags.  
Clothes, electronics, etc. -- makes it easier for them to search, and 
makes packing easier.

The TSA leaves a flyer in checked bags that are inspected.

I carry one bag that is ALWAYS inspected -- my Curling brooms.
