It seems to be mixed. Most people take extension cords on without issue but occasionally you hear of somebody who has an issue. More likely, and again not consistently, power bars with surge protection catch the screeners attention. We use a couple of short travel extension cords we bought off of Magellan that aren't surge protectors and have never had an issue.
