| Hi Macula,
I have never had a problem getting through security with all sorts of mics and gear in my bag - had a few close calls but after a sniff test / explosive residue scan I've always gotten through and without much time delay. This is mostly for domestic flights. Often I will say to the screener that there is recording equipment in the bags (and then shut up and let them do their thing).
International flights are quite different. You'll probably need to fill out a bunch of forms well in advance (can't remember the names...others will). I'd also bring copies of the purchase receipts to prove that it is yours and not purchased on the trip.
Best,
Silas |
