<<I would add to Frank's comment that you need to be prepared to turn
each device on for inspection. In other words, don't go with empty
batteries.>>

While this was true in the past, I must say I haven't had to  
demonstrate any equipment's ability to turn on in at least a decade.  
I believe security personal put their trust in the sniffing devices  
now. I frequently have microphones removed from bags for personal  
inspection, but no real problems other than a slight delay.
