What's the problem?
The problem is when you take stuff and then get rerouted due to weather and have to be screened for a jet service.
I'm not quite sure what the guy at AKL thought my tone source / cable tester was when he saw it on the screen, but a square box with lots of wires coming out of it clearly registers as something suspicious!
