I always travelled to the Carribbean and Latin America with my MP-1, mini tripod and a bunch of radials, coax that were checked in as part of my luggage.
Never a problem. Only issue I had was in LAX, they always did the swab test on my K2/10 with the built in battery everytime I connected there. Internationally, never an issue with my stuff nor at MIA, DFW or Houston at customs. I always carried the radios with me (K2 or the KX1). The rest was checked in.
