I will be travelling on an international flight form London to India very soon.So I would like to know if someone had any issues taking PI on an international flight and should I keep it in Cabin baggage with me or in the checked in baggage. BTW, I am an Indian. Thank you.
The main thing most security people look for are weapons and explosives. A laptop is going to get a more through examination then a Pi, because the battery is a big hunk of something, and if it were a bomb, that would be an issue. That's why they often ask about you to turn on your laptop.<p>I'd be more worried about it being pilfered if you check it then it being a security issue if you take it in the cabin.
No problem, even with the Pi, Beagle Board, and Tessel I carried with me to/from Tel Aviv earlier this year. Might be wise to have a portable / USB battery available to show things are able to power up -- just advise I was given once, but never had to use.
I run Raspberry Pi workshops all around Australia. I carry many Raspberry Pi (and electronics kits) on the plane (as carry on) with me. The security folks only seem to care about my tightly wound extension cords and Wi-Fi base station (an Apple Airport Extreme).
