Pierre, I have learned that all long and/or sharp items should go in checked baggage. Also, I leave time when going through security so I can go back down to the ticket counters and check something that security is concerned about, if need be.
I am amazed that I have seldom been questioned about my carry-on contents. I always take great quantities of wires, batteries, radios, connectors, and other items, and I've never been asked about any of it.
