I fly a  lot, 100K++ a year, with communications gear, test equipment, parts,
etc.  and generally have no problem. Carry-on is a different trip all
together.  TSA didn't know what to think of a pattern generator/bit error
rate tester  because it wasn't a computer. They asked what it did and I
finally told  them it counted mistakes and I made so many I couldn't keep
track without  'this box'. Another stopper was my SpeedX in my carry-on bag
going through  National Airport in DC. The kid put on plastic gloves then
picked the key  up by the cable, like a dead rat by the tail, and asked "What
it be" ( Yep,  that is a quote) One time I was flying from SEATAC to San
Diego after a job  finished and I'd bought an NOS TCS-12 receiver from
Electronic Dimensions.  The security folks(kids) did not know what the tubes
were and pulled me  into 'secondary' because they did not believe what I had
was only a  radio.
