[Elecraft] KX2 on commercial airplane

[Edward Mccann]

Skip, 

I tried telling the TSA guy a little box of electronics and such was for my hearing aid.
He thought I was spoofing him and called his supervisor when he asked if it received Fox News, and I said not in my house. I explained it was the Bluetooth gear for broadcasting TV audio into the earpiece. A little demo for the TSA folks was cordial but I almost missed the flight.

One step for man, a giant step for mankind.

While explaining to the TSA agent about ham radio I actually powered up the KX2 and showed him how it worked, he thought it was pretty neat.
