[Scan-DC] Re: Scanners on aircraft

[David Schoenberger]

Michael,

I flew from Dulles to Las Vegas in November and December, and never
had a problem going through security.  In my carry-on, I had a 246T
and a 250D, as well as power cables, earphones, and
batteries/chargers.  They didn't ask me to remove them from the
carry-on or turn them on.  One screener did look at the bag an extra
long time while in the machine, however.  I didn't attempt to use
anything on the plane.
