Hacking Question Is it safe to bring RCM Loader and jig to airport?

[pinkbeetle]

Don't see why it should be a problem, both items are perfectly legal.

Hi all, I will fly to St. Louis for my sister's wedding and I want know if anyone carry RCM Loader and jig to airport?

I noticed that US banned on importation of those devices so that why I asked y'all.

I bring mine to airport last year and recently. They inspected and let me go with it without an issues. Nothing's wrong with that. You will be fine.

You can use rcm on ios you do need a jailbreak though

I have iPhone 11 with latest OS but it isn't jailbreak-able, unfortunately.

Actually, RCMLoader works as a USB stick, it's how you update the payloads.

Oh that is cool, I have an earlier one and it uses a separate cable to flash payloads.

It does. Still counts though IMO.

Jigs are just metal so I don't see the concern here. RCM Loaders are really small and if they ask, you could just pretend its a USB drive since it does attach to the Switch via the USB port.

Say them it's a "bluetooth dongle" xD

In any case, if a pc can be taken/used I would inject payloads through a USB-C cable with it and have the Switch always in autorcm. I guess a USB-C cable and a tiny paperclip shouldnt be any suspectful to carry to the destination place or to buy once there.
