Default Portable VCap and Airline Security?
Going on a domestic flight in the next couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone has carried their portable vcap on a plane? Just wondering if it would arouse suspicion at the security check point due to its looks or if it is not an issue.

Anyone actually brought one on a plane?

no but consider the education/sophistication level of these clowns, might not be a good idea.

I carried the portable v-cap on a plane several times. I didn't see any issues with it.

If they ask about it, volunteer to plug it in (if they haven't tasered you already) with the rest of your rig, and let them listen.

 There are those who treat music as a convenience.

it shouldn't cause a problem. The voltage in your vcap should not cause that much explosion. Actually the battery in your laptop will cause some damage. Just some food for thought. but of course tsa does not look into that

I travel with my rig a couple times a month and all over the world; I've never had a problem. I don't have the VCAP but with iPods, docks, amps, etc all strapped together, it can't look any stranger. No one has ever batted an eye.

To be in secure, the better is to use the femal imod dock plug.
I don't take the risk that they keep my Vcaps.
