Gathering Experience of travelling with the OBT

[Trouffman]

Did any of you guys had any issue taking it with you when travelling ?

 

 

I did a few trip by plane with both the prototype and the retail version (community edition int the traveller sleeve) never had any issue.

 

 

Details of lnown trip with the OBT :

 

- Jan 2017 - Trouff - By Plane as Carry-On - Final version - YUL (montreal) to YYZ (toronto) to LAS (Las Vegas) - No problem, just got a question in Toronto asking what it was, but wasn`t put aside.

 

- 2016 Prototype : World Tour in Canada, Brazil, France, Indonesia - as Carry-on in the backpack : No questions asked.

When you take it through customs and if you are being stopped and asked to open up your bags and they ask 'what is this' (meaning the BC1), do you say:

 

1) a cutting board I bought for my girlfriend

2) the board for a new board game

3) a part for the dash of my car

4) a work of art to be displayed at home

5) ????

 

or do you say (take deep breath):

This is an open-source bench for testing computers which was made possible through the cooperation of HWBOT, Streacom and OverclockingTV and which is portable and toolless and specially meant for overclockers and PC builders to ...................:nana:

Ahahahaha @hjongste

 

Had it in the back pack also from Taipei to France. No questions asked

 

Still I would not recommend taking the PCI standoffs on the table as these could definitely be classified as hazadeous objects by some guys on a bad day ...
