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?
