The DefendOps Diaries

Anyone travel with raspberry pis and lock picks both in North America and in Europe? Wondering how bad the airport security are regarding those items since I maybe travelling in a few months.

Also, wondering for my flipper or if I would be fine if I pack it in my checked luggage and it is turned off.

I would also like to pack a multitool, but I am willing to part ways with both my multitool and my flipper if security are a pita for both even if packed in checked luggage.
