Quote:Hi, I am travelling from Maryland to Las Vegas, and I wish to bring my Picoscope 4-channel kit with the carrying case with me. Can I take this as carry-on baggage or will TSA require me to check it in?
I fly often carrying a ton of electronic equipment, it is no problem. DO NOT CHECK IT, carry it onto the plane. I would put the case on the conveyor and if they ask you to open it up, do so and throw it into a bucket.
If you check it with your baggage, you may never see it again or it may become damaged.
A typical group of items in my carry-on bag would be:
1 laptop
2 tablets
GPS
Projector
25' power cord
Chargers for all of the above
Cables for all of the above
Batteries
and a bunch of misc small stuff
I have to pull only 2 items out and put them into separate buckets, my laptop and projector.
I can have the conveyor belt loaded faster than most tourists can get their shoes off...
