<div dir="ltr">I don't think you will. They are very strict about pointy/sharp objects and fluid - which I hope your stuff don't have. I would just put it in a container/Tupperware and put it out of the bag to the prepared bin during scanning for showing good intention - same like what you do with notebook and other metals.</div>

They then called over someone else to look at it and ran it through a second time. I tried to explain what it was, but they did not want to hear my story. On the third run, they pulled my tools and my robot off the conveyor belt, leaving on my 11 year old daughter's bag on the conveyor for the 3rd run. They then pulled it off the conveyor, opened it up, talked and finally realized what the issue was and ran just one item from her baggage through before putting it back in the bag and waiving us on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So with all my tools, robot, etc - what was the ONE item that concerned them? A hair brush... not sure why, but it was being flagged as an issue until they examined carefully.</div><div><br></div><div>
So I can't promise you will have smooth sailing if something as simple as a brush can alert security, but I can say I have flown several times since then, post TSA, with no further problems. </div><div><br></div></div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m a grad student and using an Arduino with some
sensors attached as part of my grad school project. I’d like to
take it with me on vacation to work on it some and was hoping some of you had experience
in this area. I don’t think they are specifically disallowed by the
TSA, but do you get the back room special treatment for taking a
microcontroller with you as a carry on or in your luggage? I’d like
to minimize the pain since I will have to make connections and don’t want
to miss those because of hours of security BS. <u></u><u></u></p>
