I need to take the clock. On a trip.

Hi, as you saw in the title I have to take the clock on a trip. To South Korea so, I have to take it to the airport. I mean I could probably by pass the un-assembled one through the X-Rays, the problem is when I come back. I'm going to assemble it in Korea. And when I come back will I be OK if I don't add the extra Bomb looking parts to the back? I think it's promising.
I have all my soldering tools in Korea, And I decided to get a bit of a break on a whim. So I don't wan't to assemble it in the US.

I really recommend keeping electronics in your checked luggage. DON'T carry it on. There are quite a few articles about how to travel with DIY electronics. Here's a recent one that linked to the Defusable Clock product (for obvious reasons!)

You really should not try to take unassembled kit or assembled circuit board in carry on luggage. when they see that on the X-ray you WILL have problems. The assembled circuit board will make TSA freak out. And if you have problems, nootropic design has problems -- our name is on the board.

The best solution is to ship the electronics, not fly with them. Priority Mail International small flat rate box is only $16.95. It's slow, but if you have lead time, that's the way to go. I don't know how to ship it back to the US, though.

Let us know how everything turns out -- or maybe we'll hear about you in the news.
Good luck, friend!

Keep all your basic stuff in your carry on like medicines, gadgets like phones but the clock, you can check that in. If you can send them over to a courier, that will be a lot safer. It will lessen the chance of your clock being damage.
