Agreed. the TSA won't care about the scanner. I just came back
from a trip with mine, and they didn't give it a second thought, let
alone glance. The carrier on the other hand has their regs in place
about its use. Most will ask that they are turned off as soon as the
doors are closed on the flight and they're ready for pushback. Then
when they land and are at the gate, you can use it again.

Most have approved lists of electronic devices to use either on
hand (call the airline) or listed on their website.

If at all possible, when it comes to being on the plane and
wanting to listen in on pilot/ATC chatter, fly UAL proper (nothing
operating as UAX). Ask the pilot to turn on Ch. 9, plug in your
headphones to that, and you're set for the entire flight.
