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

[JeepX87]

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've taken my hacked switch and jig just fine. I don't think anyone will think anything of them. Especially since you're not importing them in bulk to the country from outside of it.

Why not just use your phone as the RCM loader?

 

[cearp]

Your location says you are in the US, so you're not importing it if you fly within the US.
But, no reason to worry about anything to do with that at all even if you were. I assume you have lived long enough to know what types of things you can, and cannot, get away with.

Can you get away with downloading a movie illegally, or even stealing some food from a store? As long as you aren't an idiot you will be fine.
Can you get away with killing someone? Not really...!

When is the last time you flew?
Didn't TSA check your phone for apps like Rekado, and let you off with a warning since you didn't have any payloads loaded in it?

(I'm joking, just to show how silly the situation is)

I use iPhone and it isn't possible to install custom app without paying expensive development fee (they offer free 7 days).

Your location says you are in the US, so you're not importing it if you fly within the US.

Yes, I live in the US and it will be domestic flight.

Use autorcm so you don't need the jig at least

you seriously think any normal person over 30 who works at the airport has any damn idea what a rcm loader and jig is?
they'll just let you go but hey don't you even try to smuggle 1ml of water into the plane

If you know what a rcm loader is then you're not normal.

It's possible people here work in an airport, for sure there are people over 30 here.

Even in the very unlikely event that the airport employee would know what the RCM loader and jig are for, he would probably just wink and say "Have fun with your CFW!"

This reminds me of people back in day asking if you could fly with an R4

Even in the very unlikely event that the airport employee would know what the RCM loader and jig are for, he would probably just wink and say "Have fun with your CFW!"

You won't even come into contact with the vast number of airport employees.
The security staff are the only people who can even look at your things.

Unless the airline prohibits electronic devices (which I don't think anyone does anymore) then I don't see why anyone would care

Really love the US: everyone can buy a gun but you have to worry about RCM loader at the airport

To answer your question, there has not been any News of the United States Government working with Nintendo to scan Airports for hardware; if there were, you can rest assured it would make the Front Page here for several weeks, at least.

That's not to say your concerns are unfounded; Microsoft in South East Asia did work together with Governments to scan Airports for Original Software and people were stopped and checked. They might again.

Some might argue that there's little chance of this going to Court, but that's besides the point; being detained long enough to miss Flights, especially on International Transits is enough to ruin your day and within the authority of the Airport Staff.

 

[gohan123]

what do you mean with jig and rcm loader???? that's just a paperclip and a usb stick.

 

[smf]

that's just a paperclip and a usb stick.

a usb stick that doesn't work, at this rate they'll assume it's a bomb.

 

[teamlocust]

lol no issues

 

[The Real Jdbye]

a usb stick that doesn't work, at this rate they'll assume it's a bomb.

Actually, RCMLoader works as a USB stick, it's how you update the payloads.
Also, it's a bit too small to be a viable bomb.
And you know they have xray scanners that can see what's inside. They would immediately tell if there's anything in there other than a small PCB.

They're going after sellers importing in bulk. They don't care about you. Maybe they theoretically can take it from you if they recognize it but that's highly unlikely to happen.
They're after drugs, bombs and occasionally undeclared large amounts of money and they don't care much about anything else.

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

Honestly no one would even know what rcm is, god knows that everyone i know except 2 people and they actively follow switch cfw news. Most dont care or would assume its a battery (yes, there are batteries that are like an rcm loader)

Airport yes, but whatever you do don't take it to a grocery store.
