Carrying Operator Interfaces On Airplanes?

I'd think that you could con(vince) the security guys to give it the same treatment as a laptop computer. I know at different airports, they treat laptops differently - sometimes I put it in through the x-ray machine, sometimes I put it in the box that you pass over the machine. If you explain to the guy what it is and that it should basically be treated the same as a laptop, hopefully you'll be fine - if their machines are rated for laptops, pass it through, otherwise, don't.

It all depends on the general friendliness of the airport you're going through (i.e. not New York's JFK).
