[Elecraft] DXpedition to Bonaire ... Questions

[Nick Kemp]

Take it and don't worry.  Be prepared to power it (if it is battery 
powered) as you go through security if you carry it on the plane. They 
may ask a few questions about it... many times simply out of curiosity. 
   Checking it via luggage  may cause it to get an extra check but you 
won't know until you get your luggage.  Inventory everything in the 
luggage and take pictures of equipment if you are concerned about theft. 
Don't lock your luggage other than the locks that TSA and everyone else 
who wants one has a key for.  Check airline insurance coverage to be 
sure it is fully covered (Ham radio equip is expensive) in the event of 
theft. It may be worth paying for additional coverage if needed.

About 4.5 million people fly per day and that does not change 
significantly as the results of recent events.  Although the news would 
have you believe that nothing else in the world is going on besides what 
they broadcast, for the most part you won't even notice as you travel.
