My favorite was one of my co-workers who flew to Florida for temporary duty with his flight gear in his bag. The TSA guy could figure out how to turn on his emergency beacon, but couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. He put it back in the bag in the on position and put the bag on the plane.

By beacon do you mean the radio beacon that sets off alerts and is tracked by satellite? EPIRB, I think it is called. That one? If so a big giant LOL!

Ohhh. Because no-one listens to 121.5 or 243. Except lots of us. That know how to 'fox hunt' to find transmitters.

What a bunch of maroons (ref B.B.).

I'm awake for "Navy tower on 121.5 how do you hear?" every morning, and hear ground respond. Also hear the same radio checks every night when they shut down. Checks their equipment out, and as a benefit, it checks my receivers, as well.
