New TSA Guidelines Regarding R/C Equipment, Toys, Etc. -- so what about my Boe-

Not sure if folks saw this in the media last week, but there are new TSA guidelines that will essentially guarantee individual and longer inspections for folks with R/C toys, cars, whatever. I would think a Boe-bot (or many of the Completed Projects at the forums) wouldn't look much different to a TSA employee.

Anyone have any experiences or travel tips they want to share? If I take some of our smaller 'bots on our next trip, should I just figure out a way to package them really, really well and then check them or just UPS them ahead of time? If I have bigger 'bots should I just forget flying altogether and drive?

What about all the students (globally) who are bringing 'bots to the big international competitions (both here and abroad)?

    Arrange to send anything that you need ahead of time if at all possible.· I think that checked baggage is still at $100/bag, where it was set >30 years ago.
