Hi Peter,

I'm helping a friend move his plane down to Florida for the winter
and will be flying back on the airlines. Since I'll be bringing my
flight gear(headset, handheld radio, GPS, flight bag, etc..), is
there anything that I should avoid bringing so the TSA doesn't

finish
their Christmas shopping with all my gear? I'd hate to be told,
"nope, you can't take this GPS, or this handheld radio".
"Hmmm...bubba sure gonna like these presents...". ; - )

Any help would be appreciated.


grow a mustache and tell them "I'm gonna need these later during the
flight..."


to add a serious comment: As long as you take out any batteries I can't
imagine any security risk. As to the risk of theft from checked luggage
I cannot comment. I never had anything stolen from checked-in luggage.
But even if - wouldn't that be insured up to a certain value?

regards,
Friedrich
