Bringing a scanner on an airplane

[ansky]

I do a lot of air travel for business and want to bring my scanner with me to the places I visit. Has anyone had any problems with security when bringing a scanner in their carry-on luggage?

The most they made me do was turn it on to show it won't blow up SMART THINKING

The Wiki is correct about usage but you can have it with your carry on to use at the places you visit as you indicated.

Totally agreed with all of the above. For general safety of my radio and the remainder of my luggage contents, I remove the batteries and place them in a re-sealable sandwich bag just in case they leak in transit. Okay, this may seem compulsive but it may prevent acid stains on your favorite tie.

I would thing the acid would eat the plastic baggie, no?
