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](http://www.wlanprosconference.com/) in Dallas. I had scheduled to meet Carter from [AccelTex](https://www.acceltex.com/) 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](http://www.ekahau.com/wifidesign/ekahau-site-survey).

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](http://shop.acceltex.com/product_info.php?cPath=16_21&products_id=46) 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.
