Question came up about getting buzzers through security, and perhaps
has been answered off-line, but I'll throw out my experience for what
it's worth.
We took a Judge to Trashmasters last year, so we went through
security in Providence and Nashville. In Providence we had to plug
it in and show that it worked. We didn't even have to do that in
Nashville, they just x-rayed the thing. In neither case did we
encounter significant delays.
Your mileage for National/Dulles/BWI, given proximity to "important"
people, may vary.
I don't know if checking the system rather than carrying it on is
better or worse in that regard, though someone here must have some
insight to that.
