[ RadSafe ] Airport arrest turns up nuclear info

[Mccormick, Luke I]

The TSA guidelines are very simple. Common sense should suffice to get
through any screening. Same with US Customs. Do not carry large amounts of
cash. Password protect your laptop. Do not carry radioactive materials of
any size. Do not carry hazardous materials. I've even been questioned about
survey meters I was carrying, because TSA had not seen them before. Be
straightforward and honest and US Customs and TSA will not be a problem.

       Actually this is a very important issue that should be
       responded to by one
       of our Homeland Security HPs.  With random checks on any of us,
       we probably
       would find our trips delayed.  Though it seems that a
       reasonable inspection
       might resolve this, some guidance to the DHS personnel and us
       HPs might be
       appropriate.  Any takers?
