I work in the power industry, and thought it would be a good conversation starter (not to mention a green choice) to get a voltaic and put it on my backpack. My biggest concern is whether or not I can get through TSA with it...I know their website says I can, but would be curious if anyone else has used this and if it works?!?!?

Sure.
1) TSA can't tell the difference between grape juice and explosives.
2) If you spill food on your charger, it may smell like food
3) TSA may then think the device IS food and confiscate it because it'syummy dangerous.
Cupcakes were used in my example because they are a famous example of something TSA confiscated solely because it was yummy.
