Carrying flight gear on the airlines

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.

Security people are people who couln't get a job flipping burgers.
Their thinking ability is limited to reacting to the last terrorist
event. After it was discovered that plastic explosives in a transistor
radio caused the downing of Pan Am 103 in Lockerby, they made passengers
turn on electronic devices. After box cutters were used on 911, they
took away nail clippers. After that bozzo tried lighting his shoes,
they examined shoes.

I once needed to take a battery powered drill with me. I took the
batteries out and put them in my brief case. When the security agent
looked at my drill case, I told him, "I want you to know that I am
taking a drill with me, but the batteries are not in the case, so the
drill in inoperative." They let me through.

Just don't take nail clippers with you.
