portable headphone amp and the TSA

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I am flying this afternoon and am planning on bringing my portable headphone amp in my carry on bag. I won't have any full size cans, just my IEMs with me (which might make explaining what it is even harder). Has anyone had problems getting through security with one? It does look rather odd if you don't know what it is, especially when tethered to my ipod and there is a LOD between them.

I've never had a problem either. But some folks have.... Texas airports seem to be the worst. At least that's what I remember from seeing threads on HF about it. I've flown in and out of Reagan, Dulles and BWI near DC and never had a problem.

Just go preparing to have to calmly explain what it is, what it does and why they should treat it the same as an Ipod. It may be aggravating but I think your attitude about it will go a long way towards whether or not there's a problem. My guess is that if it's in carry-on luggage they may take a look at it but that's about it.
