That one got me an unpleasant discussion with airport security while transiting through Dubai several years ago.

I had some fibre array cables with insane Amphenol connectors on the end, security asked me why I had a flail weapon.



In the end they let me through, but it was a lesson I shan't forget any time soon, as others have said, especially for carry-on, consider what it might look like on an x-ray screen, doubly so if international, triply so if they likely won't speak your language.

Traveling with PCBs and stuff is fine. The only time I gt my bag opened, where there was a bunch of solder next to the prototypes. They asked me what it is, I told them, they spent 2 seconds thinking (if solder != bomb, then let him board) that's all.
