Travelling with home-made custom electronics
I'll be travelling to a maker art event at the end of May. This will be a first for me travelling will all my scary-looking boards, wires and lots and lots of cords. Thinking of disassembling the entire project into its components into different static-safe bags for getting through security. I'm pre-check, but i'm pretty sure this pile of home-made stuff will look a bit strange.
Would it make sense to approach TSA before the checkpoint and point out what i'm travelling with? Its components include: One raspberry pi, 2 LED controller boards, 8 led strips, various cables to connect all these pieces that will end up installed into an interactive sculpture at my destination. Would an event flyer help? I put a lot of work into this project and would hate to see it ruined at the very end.
