Which makes me wonder... has anyone here ever had a
problem explaining vintage
computers to airport security?
Problems? No. Did I get searched? Thoroughly.
I was hauling my gear to the Pole - SBC6120, FP6120, MC-1N (INS8073 SBC)
box of CDP18xx chips and various CMOS bits, laptop docking station,
battery chargers, digital camera accessories, hand tools, etc., and at
check-in, I was asked to step to the side after my checked bags went
through the X-Ray. The only thing they didn't find odd was the laptop
itself.
I got through security fine, but they did want to look in each and every
one of my bags.
