Why would they confiscate it? It'll go though the xray machine and they might swab it. Its probably best to have it in checked luggage.

Can I keep my video card in my hand carry luggage? I'll be at LAX International Airport..just very concerned they confiscate my 770 Classified&Backplate!!!

Seriously - consfiscate a pc part for putting in your luggage? What they gonna take it as? C4?

We know that most people at airport security are school/college washouts, but lets be serious...

Hehe, I've packed my backplate into my check-in and left my 770 in my handcarry. I found this so I feel quite safe lol

Edit: I wrapped the EVGA box in a MicroCentre baggy. Hope it's legit enough I'm an enthusiast and not a terrorist lulz

Put it in your checked luggage. The only problem you will have are import taxes but having your luggage checked when you arrive is very rare, at least it is in Denmark, so you probably don't even have to worry about it.

Still. Of course it may be different from country to country, but from the US of A to boring and grey Denmark there usually isn't any problems.
