This is also my experience with even more strange electronic devices. Just carrying a bunch of handheld two-way radios rose some eyebrows, they had to go through a test for hidden explosives, and that was all.

These days you will have more trouble with a screwdriver than with the usrp.  We fly with them all the time.

Hello:

 

Quick question: I'm flying commercial for a work-trip, American Airlines from Los Angeles to Dallas, and I need to bring my USRP N200. How can I bring it with me? Does anyone have any experience flying commercial airlines with USRPs? Should I put it into my checked-in luggage? I'm afraid it would get flagged as something dangerous, and they'd rip open my luggage. Do you think I could carry it on-board the plane, after security makes me open it and they look inside it? Or is it just going to create too many problems, and would I be better off just mailing it to Dallas ahead of my trip?

 

Any thoughts, advice, experiences would be much appreciated!!

Thanks for your help!!

 

Best Regards,

Bruce P.
