Scanners at Security in airports

I know you were joking mate.

errr… think you got the wrong end of the stick there mate!

There’s always someone that will ‘bite’ when you try and add a bit of humour! :rolleyes:

Unplug it from your PC and carry it under your arm!!

There is no restriction of taking scanners with you in the US but you are not allowed to use it in flight.

It depends where you are going. It is no problem in AMS as long as you turn it off. Once landside you can turn it on again, also remember you may not leave it on when on the plane.

In some countries owning a scanner is illegal. Belgium for instance does not allow it. They will confiscate it and give you a fine. As far as I know Belgium is the only European country that bans them completely.

I have been through many domestic airports in the UK both before and after 9/11. I always remove the aerial and usually the batteries. I tell the security that its just a receiver and that its disconnected. They have always waved it through. No idea about airports abroad.
