I purchased my BF-T1 for less than USD $17, though that was a few years ago now. * Being ultra cheap, if the radio was confiscated, it wouldn't matter. I was able to carry out a little bit of listening on board by taking a Baofeng BF-T1. So taking a scanner should be safe, right? Well, I didn't want to take that chance, in case a security staff member couldn't or wouldn't make the distinction between a scanner and a ham radio, even though the difference is obvious to a scanner hobbyist. It is their policy that any prohibited item discovered is not only confiscated but destroyed by security. I've recently returned from a cruise holiday where 'Ham radios' were on the prohibited list for this particular cruise company.
