[Elecraft] KX3 through TSA Security ?

I regularly travel to New Hampshire with radio equipment in my 
checked luggage. The radio is a Small Wonder Labs PSK-20 which 
is quite small, but then there is the SignaLink, a 2 element 20M 
wire beam, power supply, connecting cables etc.

The bag is inspected about 60% of the time as shown by the "TSA 
love notes". Other than an inspection notice, I haven't had any problems.

I also usually carry on a HT in a Pelican case for communication 
with my airport ride. I have had them open the case, so I have 
to repack it, but no other problems.

TSA people appreciate being treated with politeness. They have 
NO sense of humor.

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
