Re: Flying with Electronics

Techhelp, I'm not too worried about that board raising eyebrows, I find things like actual wiring tends to cause more problems, ie, a cypress wired on a breadboard or a team's electronics board if they chose to have that be part of their witholding.

Joe: I really really hope that letter was proactive and not reactive, I can't imagine how crushing it would be for a team to find a busted up robot due to improper handling by the TSA / other airport staff (or anyone else for that matter).

John: I've never flown with a large group of other teenagers, but plenty of teenagers like joking around (My brother once told the TSA I had a bomb, I explained that he didn't know how to properly behave at an airport), so I think its never bad to remind large groups of teenagers how to behave at an airport, particularly with possibly sketchy looking devices. I was once searched because I had an external hard drive in my bag that was an internal hard drive in an enclosure, and it didn't look like your standard external hard drive.
