Did a search, and found nothing on this topic.
Now, we have all seen Die Hard 2, the one with John McClean, the cop, taking on 50 bad speacial Forces Guys, who hijack Dulles airport.
Now, the dumb ass reporter, on board an airliner, low on gas, circling overhead, has a friend, who has a scanner in his carry on. He apparently is able to pick up the beep beep beep, and eventually communications fro the ATC folks.
My question is, can a scanner pick up anything from the aircraft your in, Tx or Rx?
If it could receive, would it be allowed as a carry on item in todays security mad world?
No, I am not traveling anytime soon, and no, I don't own a scanner. Used too, but it broke. I just watched the movie, and my wife asked me if they could do that.
Cheers
