Thats why i put the title as it is, so that the people who know what im talking about would be able to answer

Airband scanner for listening to aircraft.

I'm not sure but seeming as it's a radio device they may say it'll interfere with the aircraft

It doesan't transmit, it only recieves!

I just don't want to be stopped at security and get accused of being a terrorist, wouldn't be the first time! :eusa_whis

But yeah i know about all the interfearing!

Still... listening to the atc whilst in the airport or on the plane won't quite add up in the eyes of sairport security

Well looking at Adam's photos from a while back he took his scanner onto a RyanAir flight. Where will you be heading to? I'm sure it be ok to take it with you as long as you don't have it on within the aircraft and they fully understand what it is and has been scanned through machines to check it isn't a bomb. Best bet is to contact the airline your flying on?

I'm going to the Dominican republic with Thomson, from manchester.

It's going through security that bugs me more than anything, as i don't want to have it taken away and not have anything to do with it apart from loose it!
