Jeez… I travel with much more sinister looking stuff than that and I’ve yet to be bothered. On the flip side, it’s hard to mistake the microphone since it’s packed with the computer, USB interface, etc.

You must look shady =-P

Dave, a friend of mine in Ruidoso once had to cut open a pack of hand made artisan cheese to show the Roswell TSA folks that it wasn’t plastic explosives! How funny is that? Better safe than sorry, though.
I suppose the lesson with the 416 is to keep paperwork with it if you are flying.

Bill, I often fly Allegiant Airlines. They specialize in flying to and from Las Vegas to all sorts of mid-size markets. The TSA in those towns LOVE lording over you when you enter their little one room waiting areas/one-belt security checkpoints. They’ve got the metal detectors screwed on so tight it once picked up a staple in a piece of paper I had in my pockets. I was afraid they were going to call out the SWAT team!
Thanks for the warning on the MKH!
