I tend to have the strangest stuff in my bags after those Hamvention and Hamcation flea markets. Much stranger than a mere HT! It's generally been no problem. I do always allow time for them to go through stuff thoroughly. Once the chemical scanner recognized a potential terrorist-used explosive and they looked carefully, but it couldn't have taken more than 10 minutes to clear inspection.

    Thanks

Several  years ago, when I went to visit my parents for Christmas, I took along my Arrow yagi.  I removed the 2 m elements and put it all inside a suitcase.  Someone recognized the shape of an antenna as it passed through the x-ray and asked if I was a ham.

I have a pocket certificate of my certificate in my wallet in case anyone wants proof.

I took 2 HTs and my Arrow broke down into a arrow carrying case and had no issues. Was not asked about them at all. 

I had a copy of my license in the same case as the HT incase I needed it; save me from digging a copy out of someplace else.

I've never even been asked about my TH-D72 going through security. You should be fine.

Safe travels.

Dave,

Usually, they just want you to turn it on to show it's a real
working radio instead of  something else. Don't expect to
be turning in on during the flight.

I'll be flying Southwest airlines tomorrow and plan to take my TH-D72 HT along for the ride. This is my first time taking an HT in my carry-on backpack through security. Does this usually go smoothly or are there any pit falls I need to be prepared for?
