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 have flown several times since the TSA was initiated. They allow people to carry their laptops with them.

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... Smiley
