How hard do you get fucked with if you fly with things that have antennas and might look like a detonator? Should I disassemble it first?
I'm phrasing this in a funny way, but I would like to be able to bring things like my R node with me so I can play with reticulum and other things while I'm out and about in my free time.

I just got TSA pre-check, so I'm hoping that will kind of help me, but I was just curious of other people's experiences.
Domestic, never had a problem. If I didn’t know what bitcoin miners were and I saw them working at an airport, accompanied by a bullet proof vest at that, I would 100% assume the worst. But never had an issue. Only time I did was leaving Costa Rica but that went over super well and I just had to give a super embarrassing explanation of what I was doing.
I had a coldPower with a 9v battery and they freaked out and fingered through ever millimeter of my backpack even with precheck 🙃
Good to know. And they flagged it just because of the cold power?
Showed up on the imaging and i guess BC it looked like a PCB and TSA agents have no sense of humor they viewed it as a potential threat
If TSA agents knew anything about technology, they wouldn't be working for the TSA. I'd check it. If not, be prepared to answer questions about it and give a demonstration. Also, there's a small chance that you'll be asked to throw it away or miss your flight.
Disassemble first?
