I've had lock picks confiscated before. Also, the next time I flew after this I wasn't able to "preboard". I had to go to the counter and do do through check. Apparently that got my name on a "list" I'd highly recommend putting them in your checked luggage, and not your carry on.

Hi All, I'm going to be bringing some odd stuff to Defcon, and I'll be flying. The PHUKD devices and home brew stuff may look odd to the inspectors, and I know some of you have brought odd items like lockpicks. I know the safest bet is to ship the stuff to the hotel, but I hate having my gear out of my control. 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 there are standardized. 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 a controlled substance, I wander what happens if the K9s flag your luggage?
