Reminder: TSA doesn’t say jack about travel routers or Flipper Zero or lockpicks or ham radios or mini servers. Do be prepared to explain them to a bewildered agent though. Also, memorize a short speech like “I’m authorized by the federal government, license [ham radio call sign]”, which said authoritatively can gloss over a lot.

@tek@freeradical.zone …where “TSA-unsafe stuff” = “anything even vaguely in the vicinity of anything that some random TSA worker can decide ‘YOU SHALL NOT PASS’ even though it is definitely permitted under TSA rules” 💁♀️ 😡 🤪
