And remember - if you're traveling outside the country -
that your license is for US amateur radio
so check with foreign laws regarding operating there
Take some flippers and a snorkle -and have fun
you can get back to hamming when you get back

Planes are a bummer, if you can, do what Nancy Regan suggested--just say
NO! Very small commuter jumps can be worlds more friendlier...

...and just dropping by a private airport and checking bulletin boards
and chatting--if you need hops here in the usa, mexico or canada will
work if you don't mind the inconvience...

Short of your co/corp having a private plane and granting you
use--business travel sucks, especially international flight... frown

Warmest regards,
John

Hi, I haven't flown since 9/11, preferred to drive. I am going on a
Cruise to the eastern Caribbean, and want to take my travel antenna
(loaded whip with counterpoise) and small hf xcvr. Anybody done this
sort of thing on a plane? Would it be better to take the rig on
carry-on or in the checked baggage? Or is this a bad idea cause they
will arrest me as a suspected terrorist? Ham radios are not on the
list of banned items, but I had rather not bother if it will cause any
glitch in this endeavor. Thanks for any info.
