Can you take a police scanner on an airplane? if it is in a suitcase? and can you listen to it on the plane at all? :?:

I don't think any US airline will allow you to use a radio reciever when in flight.

Yes. Some airlines provide an audio channel from the aircraft radio to passengers via headphones, just like the audio for the music channels and the in-flight movie sound.

I'll would be more worried about the radiation exposure from the X-Ray machines when they screen your bags. Could the radiation damage the the components of the scanner :?:

They did make me remove my sandels and then checked the bottom of my bear feet. When I asked how my corns looked, the TSA screener was not amused.
So I guess my feet where more of a problem then the scanner. But I did not try and use during flight. I always thought that was a no-no.
