In 2002 leaving LAX for XY3C my Kent single lever paddle caused the most consternation. Four different checkers eyeballed it. Then they swabbed samples from all around my bag for whatever it is they place in a machine and check for.
Recently returning from T33C through LAX I watched them go through my checked baggage where among other radio things I had 9 single band filters. After checking 7 of them he gave up. For checked baggage I use a hard sided golf bag for antennas and all manner of paraphernalia. Except for my K2 which I carry-on in a back pack. de Joe, aa4nn ------------------------------------------------------- Went through 2 airports (RDU and STL) this weekend. KX1+ ~60ft of 26 ga wire were in a Rubbermaid container, which I took out of my carry-on and put in bin to go through the x-ray. One screener asked me if it was an electronic device. No one opened the Rubbermaid box. I was surprised it did not attract more attention-circuit boards, a metal box, 6 AA batteries, a big coil of wire?!? 73, Eric N0HHS KX1 #670 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
