Can these machines tell the difference between a metal box of components, such as a rig, ATU or PSU and a solid block of a CW key? I was more concerned about weight (as the XYL seemed to want to pack her entire wardrobe) so I used a lightweight CW paddle that was fixed to a clipboard that contained all the amateur radio papers. I put all my ham radio gear into a separate small case which I never saw again until it reluctantly appeared at baggage reclaim. I carried my laptop and antenna mast (fibre glass telescopic roach pole, used as a walking stick) as hand luggage. I specifically asked that the laptop didn't go through the xray machine so that was the only item that got looked at. Peter G3LDO
