im just writing about my experience traveling with this thing.
i flew out of washington d.c., with the expected problems. they had no idea what it was
and tested it for hazardous material. a helpful hint i received earlier was to have a pair of
headphones/power cable to test it out for them. even though it didnt get to that stage of
suspicion, better safe than sorry.
on the way back from chicago, it was so busy, the xray scanner people didnt even bother
to examine it twice... which i found a little weird.
otherwise, smooth sailing!
now i expect to see more modular gear at shows!
