Pretty good, I'd guess.  After all, the security level just went from
"Yellow" to "Orange" because of exactly that: men "caught"
carrying electronic components and wires through security at
major airports (declared "test runs for terrorist attacks" by the
TSA).

Frankly, in a day and age where illuminated signs depicting a
space alien flipping the bird can be cause for a city-wide
shutdown, I'm more than a little nervous about carrying anything
other than wildly common consumer electronics on an aircraft
(checked OR carry-on, even).

That said, the tack I would take is simple: show up at least
three hours early for your flight and be COMPLETELY
prepared (padded, pre-addressed, pre-paid static safe mailer
in hand) to send the objects in question back to yourself.
