Radio and Laptop on Quantas
Is using a simple AM/AFM radio and a laptop allowed on a UK to Australia
quantas flight ? Do they scan and or inspect itmes like these for security
reasons ? It is ok to carry and use these ?
If a laptop is ok is there any internet access available, if so how does
this work ?

QANTAS!!!!!
NO 'U'!!!!
No internet in the air either; but radios and laptops are fine after
take-off, provided you use earphones with the radio - and understand you'll
not stay in range of any one station for long!

Depends on the level of security, but most places will at least make you
open them up.
> Is'nt net access available / possible nowadays, thought it was ?
Not on Qantas until 2006.

Re: Radio and Laptop on Quantas - QANTAS!
Security is not airline specific. Each airport authority provides security
services - and they're stringent everywhere!!!

They usually just put em through the baggage scanner

Yes but it costs an arm and a leg when available.

Re: Radio and Laptop on Quantas
Never ever check your laptop in!! They'll put it through the usual scanner -
and ask you to power it up when you take it through as carry on baggage.
Easy enough!?

Laptop - no problem. You will probably need to take it out of the case
when going through security, and possibly turn it on (although nowhere I've
been has made me do this yet).
AM/FM radio. Firstly, why? It most likely won't work. Seconly, no, I
wouldn't try using it. The last few times I've flown anywhere they have
explicitely said no radio transmittors _or receivers_ are allowed.

Depends - do you have a very long modem cable?

Those clockwork cell phones are allowed, however.
