Part of the trick is that I was aware of what I had with me and was careful to actually open its case so the TSA agents could easily see what it was. I was friendly and engaged and prepared to talk their ears off about ergonomics ;)

Flying out of DCA a week later, the TSA agent was astonished that I wasn't _selling_ keyboards -- "People will buy anything. You should make some money on that shit."

Transiting Narita and flying out of Taipei a week after that, I just put it through the X-Ray. Nobody said a thing.
