I am beginning to worry about returning from Beijing, probably because I had a little battery pack confiscated last trip because it allegedly was not marked with the mAh. Would hate to lose a $200 printer.
Anyone know if this will be an issue? All my flights are AA so the weight of my carry on will not be an issue.
The battery is small enough to fly. The question is whether it's printed on the device. I wouldn't trust that Chinese airport security would accept the number printed in the manual.
