27 Jun 10 - 07:31 AM (#2935472) Subject: A digital recorder ? From: Deckman I am using a "Zoom H-2" digital recorder and I am very pleased with it. I have to fly from Seattle to Alaska in a couple of months and I'm planning on taking this recorder with me. Question: would you think it best if I ship it ahead by post office, or can I just put it in my luggage and send it through the airport scanners? Thanks for your thoughts .... Bob(deckman)Nelson |

27 Jun 10 - 07:24 PM (#2935727) Subject: RE: A digital recorder ? From: Tangledwood I've never had a problem with film or digital cameras, or a small radio scanner, always taken as carry on. Sometimes they'll ask to look in the bag. Once, after going through several scans between Oz and UK without query I was questioned on arrival at Heathrow about a "suspicious" electronic object in my checked luggage. It was a camera battery charger. Satisfying them was a simple matter of just opening the bag and showing the object. I think that I read somewhere that it's a good idea to remove the batteries from the equipment but I haven't always done that. |
