Default Quick ECU Question??

Can an ECU withstand the x-ray at the airport??

I'm travelling tomorrow and would like to take my ECU with me. Any thoughts??

Please advise.

It'll look like a bomb. You won't get anywhere near the terminal w/ that.

that's what I though too. So i call airport security and they said it would be ok as long as they can x-ray it. Just no metal detector... We'll see. They assure me that the x-ray is safe.

Default I don't think an x-ray will show anything...

That metal casing is a bitch.

Default You would be amazed at the things you can take on an airplane as long as you claim them

I was allowed to take a replica UZI as long as the clip was underneath. (it is plastic, but still it is to scale and pretty realistic)

Default I would loosen the screws in case you need to open it up.

Once open, it's clear it's nothing more than a circuit board. That shouldn't be an issue. Don't bring a screwdriver...that will most likely get confiscated.
