Bringing a brand spanking new PS3 on an airplane?
I've read other answers about this formerly asking this one, so I know that it's fine to just bring the system on the ship, but I just want to be a bit more specific here. A friend on the other side of the country get me a new PS3... of which I plan on giving as a endowment to another friend at my location. This is important because at the airport checkpoint, I don't want to own to open the box.
I'm used to have to take my laptop out of my daypack, as well as removing the laptop cover whenever I walk through security, which brings me to the cross-examine: Will they make me transport the new PS3 out of the box?
Answers: If it looks brand contemporary and as though the box has not be opened, and especially if it looks factory hermetically sealed, it is unlikely that they will open the box to remove the element. It will of course be sent through the x-ray electrical device, but that is no big business. Even if they do open the box (and they would widen it, not give it to you), it is especially likely that the TSA agent will be deeply careful, so mess up is unlikely.
I travel frequently with a LOT of electronic devices. I have a weird looking electronic device hermetic in a plain brown box. I be asked at every checkpoint what was contained by the box (airplane parts, actually), but was never asked to interested the box. Just be cool, and be cooperative, and there will be no problems.
There is a apt chance that they will inspect it, yes. I travel next to a lot of electronics, and they check it periodically - down to the wires and such. yh once the seatbelt sign is sour
yea they probably will to check if there is a wepon surrounded by it. IT'S STUPID I KNOW! Around holiday times they always speak to wrap the gift once you seize to your destination. It probably depends whether the the scanner will be able to translate what it's looking at.
I was told that one of the reason they need the laptops to be placed by themselves on the conveyer is because the battery are usually too thick for the scanner to examine the entire laptop. I don't presume there is a batter within a PS3, but your best bet is to check out www.tsa.gov to see if they have any more information on their trellis site.
