How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.

Be sure to check the rules for batteries.
TSA has a facebook account that you can sen them a picture of what ever item you are questioning and they will let you know if you can carry it on or not.
GNSS suitcase is no problem. Rods, points, plumb bobs - probably.
I would assume it would depend solely on the TSA screener/supervisor.
I know I had to check all tools when I was doing field service. Basically if they don't know what it is, you're going to have to check it.
