Airport Screeners?

Post by mistertek »

Has anyone traveled with a MintyBoost in their pocket? I am wondering if they get upset with such a homemade device?

Thanks

Hey, I'm assuming youre talking about getting them through airport security, in which case, I have done on numerous occasions. I just had it in my carry-on and put it through, haven't had a problem yet. Someone on the forums did get stopped but was able to explain to them what it was. Any halfway competent person would be able to see that it isn't dangerous at all (no switches, and obviously no explosives)
Hope that helps.
