One year ago, I flew to Australia with a MFOS Sound Lab Plus in my suitcase.
The entire circuit was on three breadboards snapped together, and all the
pots and switches were on a chunk of cardboard, with 100 wires soldered on a
and stuck into the breadboards like blue spaghetti.  It looked like a
homemade bomb even to me!

I opened my suitcase at the airport and said, "Here's what's in my suitcase.
It's an electronic music project I'm working on.  Is this going to present a
problem?"  It didn't.
