Scanners on airplanes

[MaggaSaraivah]

I am planning on flying from Detroit to Connecticut in a few days. I was wondering if it is ok to keep my scanner in my carry-on ? It will be turned off the whole time. I dont plan on using it until I arrive in CT. Are there any rules about passing scanners through Security or carrying them on airplanes ?

I travel with mine all the time, you just can't use it on the airplane. Do a search of the forums you will find tons of dicussion on the topic.

You should have absolutely no problems. I, too, take mine on the plane with me since I don't trust the baggage handlers not to swipe it. Once I get through security, I sit near the window at my gate, pull the scanner out and listen to the tower. When it's time to board, I put it away.
