Jussi and his Guntenna
You may want to reconsider that “carry-on only” rule as a Wi-Fi engineer – at least when you have external antennas with you. True story: I went to the (awesomely organized) WLAN Pros Conference in Dallas. I had scheduled to meet Carter from AccelTex while I was there. We did, and locked down our plans of adding all the AccelTex antennas into our Wi-Fi planning and site survey tool.
So you can imagine I was really happy to see an AccelTex antenna in the conference attendee bag.
Little did I know, that little antenna was going to be big trouble.
On my way home, connecting at the London Heathrow airport, the security officer had a “friendly chat” with me, causing me to miss my flight.
Why, you might ask?
“Sir, these things look like bullets”

But, this is what was actually in my bag.
