As long as it is in checked baggage it shouldn't be a problem though the TSA
guys may take it apart. Best bet would be to box it up and pay a little
extra to ship it air cargo with whatever airline you are flying on.

Hey everyone,

I'm going to be attending the Cheesehead Teslathon this weekend, and wanted
to bring along my SSTC electronics to demonstrate (Steve Ward will be
providing me with a coil and whatnot).

Now, I was wondering if anyone could offer advice about transporting the
SSTC driver electronics on an airplane. They will (hopefully) be enclosed
in a nice aluminum project box. Has anyone had experience with carrying
homemade electronic devices in your baggage, etc? Should I just not risk it?


Thanks,
Dan Strother
