[aprssig] planes and ham radio

[Michael Revell]

I've flown many times with a hand held, cables and GPS in my laptop bag over the past 5 years (last time back in March) and was only questioned once.  The screener (looking at the X-ray machine) thought my FT-470 antenna was some type of shank.
   
  Better safe than sorry.

  When flying, I put a small piece of plastic between the battery and the radio's contact points so the radio cannot be turned on inadvertently, yet can easily be used to show TSA folks it is working. I've flown with many toys in my on-board bag and never had any problems. I hate the thought of it coming on, squelch off and have luggage whose stomach is growling...
