[QUOTE="Eljay, post: 57747, member: 4399"] I went to US->England->Ireland->Canada->US recently and nobody batted an eye at it. Everything carried on in a backpack with a SLR sitting next to it. The Spark was in one of those self charging cases DJI sells with the associated soft case around it. Security wanted to open the backpack up sometimes because it just looks like a big mass of electronics but mostly they seemed interested in the camera lens, like maybe the tube might have something in it. I think it got opened two flights and swabbed for explosives one flight and ignored one flight. That's about normal for when I just have the SLR flying domestic. And that's with pre-check, they just love that SLR. I had six Spark batteries, 4 SLR batteries, and the charging unit, AND I had a hefty USB charger. I did get one guy in Scotland asking me if I was a professional photographer and I said I'd worked as one but on this trip it was just for fun. Turns out he shoots the occasional wedding and figured that'd why I had so many batteries with me and was basically just curious. Oh and one guy thought it was hilarious I had a ton of Curly Wurlies in the bag. What, it's a long flight. Never volunteered that I have a drone, nobody asked if it was a drone, nobody ever wanted to open its little case, in short nobody cared. I think they know you're not going to be stupid enough to fire up a drone inside a plane and if you were your fellow passengers would hit the call button and the crew would deal with it. They don't seem to consider it worth caring about. [/QUOTE]
