    I always take one - in the hold (not much point putting it in hand-luggage), never had a problem. Same with mobile charger, spare batteries etc. Only time I've been stopped was due to my mobile case - didn't have the mobile in it and the belt-clip looked like a knife apparently.

    I've never had any problem. Don't put the batteries in it, though, just in case. In any event, I can't as I have one of the little Uniross GlobeTrotter ones - folded up, its not much bigger than 4 x AA's.
