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!
