I am flying out of EDI on Flybe in a couple of days. After that I am flying out of MAN with KLM to AMS and then on and out of Europe.

I want to hand carry a handheld, re-chargeable, aviation, VHF transceiver. I need to hand carry it out of EDI because I will have hand luggage only, and out of MAN because I want to claim a VAT refund on it. Any idea how security will react to it? In theory I could cause total mayhem with it! But I wonder if security will know or care and will distinguish it from any random radio ?

Thanks
My dad was once turned back at security for carrying a receiver only, he was as told to go and check it in.
