Based on the new guidelines for travelling with electronic equipment and the fact that they should be able to be powered on if requested, has anyone been subject to this check when travelling with an air pressure transmitter connected to a regulator that is being hand carried?
In theory, the air pressure transmitter would be categorised as an 'electronic equipment' since it's battery powered. I am travelling from Heathrow to Malta in a couple of days and I have put the question to the CAA (no reply), the UK Dept of Transport (they referred me back to the airport) and then Heathrow. The representative from Heathrow didn't seem to have looked into the details of the equipment that I sent in (for a Suunto Air Transmitter) and gave me the standard "if it's electronic and you can't power it on, then you won't be allowed to travel with it."
Any thoughts/experiences would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.
