    "content": "I've traveled with my HTs often over the years but only most recently\nwith my Arrow.  Last year I had my VX-7R and a Pryme AL-800\ntelescoping whip in my carry on going between FLL and LIM.  A TSA\nX-Ray screener in Ft Lauderdale pulled me aside for secondary\nscreening where they took everything out of my carry on and swabbed\nthe whole thing.  The HT had the battery in fully charged and the\nantenna was disassembled.  I offered to turn it on for the inspector\nand they said NO quite emphatically.  They took it away to a\nsupervisor.  Apparently they saw the antenna connector and thought the\nground and centre conductor were stun gun electrodes!  They also took\nout the telescoping whip and extended it so hard that they pulled one\nof the traps apart.  That same carry on with the same stuff in it had\npassed through security at DTW, CUZ and LIM with no problems\nwhatsoever other than the x-ray belt going back and forth a few times\non my bag.\n\nOn other occasions, they just take it out, look at it for a second, do\nthe swab test and put it back in if anything at all.  Over Christmas I\ntook the arrow with me.  I disassembled all of the elements.   I put\nthe 2 meter elements inside the boom except for the gamma match which\nI taped to the outside of the boom.  I put all of the 70cm elements in\na Ziplock bag and took them in my carry on.  The boom just barely fit\nin my oversized duffel bag.  Should have spent the extra $6 and got\nthe split boom!  At YTZ (Toronto Island Airport), your checked bags\nand carry ons both go through the same x-ray and one of the agents\ntells the x-ray person that it's a checked bag and they don't give it\nas much scrutiny so the Arrow made it through no problem.  The carry\non however got pulled for manual screening and they focused on the\nHT's and the bag of elements.  He just asked what they were and I told\nhim and all was okay after he ran the swab test.  This same bag went\nthrough security at YYT with no questions asked.\n\n73,\nMark VO1ONE/N8TLV\n\n\n> -----Original Message-----\n> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\n> Behalf Of Reid Crowe\n> Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 9:44 PM\n> To: [email protected]\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Transporting HT and Arrow Antenna on commercial flight\n>\n> Has anyone had luck with transporting an HT on a commercial flight in\n> their carry on luggage recently?  I doubt I'd have much luck with\n> transporting an arrow antenna in my carry on.  Any thoughts?\n>\n> 73\n>\n> Reid N0RC\n\n",
