It just occurred to me that it might be "interesting" to get this on board =
a
aircraft.  Last year when travelling to Masters, I had my KnurdLight
(http://www.embedinc.com/pic/knli) in my checked baggage.  A few minutes
after I got to the gate awaiting boarding, I was paged to come back
downstairs to the airline counter.  When I got there I was met by two TSA
agents that started asking me what was in my luggage.  I listed off things
like my camera, lenses, binoculars, and eventually got to the headlight.
One of them said "that's it".  They asked some more questions about me and
it, but were then satisfied and one of them even escorted me thru the
security checkpoint back to the gate.  To be fair, both were very nice and
were even joking around a little.  I asked the one escorting me what I coul=
d
have done to make the light look more OK.  He said what I did was fine, and
that they give this level of scrutiny to anything electronic with batteries
in it.  On subsequent trips I have removed the batteries and haven't been
questioned about it since.  Then again I traveled with the same light
several times previously and wasn't questioned about it either.
