I guess that brings up the point: What items are best to carry on, and what is best to check? Adrian On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 12:15 PM, Andrew Ellis <only.samurai at gmail.com>wrote:
I've thrown a set of picks in my checked luggage for the past few years for Defcon as well as pen-testing gigs. I don't know if it's technically allowed or not, but I've never had any trouble. I did have some trouble one year coming back from Defcon with a laptop I had purchased with NoOS installed. I got selected for a screening and the TSA agent wasn't happy with the fact that it didn't boot into anything.

I know the safest bet is to ship the stuff to the hotel, but I hate having my gear out ofmycontrol. I'm thinking this would even make a cool article: How not to get reamed by the TSA. Here are the key points: 1. Ever taken home brew electronics with you? 2. Did the TSA raise eyebrows? 3. How about lockpicks and other items? 4. How easy are TSA approved locks to pick? I imagine easy since therearestandardized. I'm guessing home brew electronics is safer stuff to bring than home brew chemicals at least. Side note: If you have a prescription for acontrolledsubstance, I wander what happens if the K9s flag your luggage?
