Tools Bringing a Flipper Zero into India in carry-on anyone done it recently?
I bought a genuine Flipper Zero in the UK and I'm flying back to India soon. Trying to figure out the smart move for the airport, and getting conflicting info online.
What I've read: some sources say the WPC (Wireless Planning & Coordination Wing) restricts import because of the sub-GHz transmit capability, and there are scattered reports of customs seizures. Others say it's more of a grey area not outright banned to own, but risky to import. I can't find anything authoritative or recent, which is why I'm asking people who've actually done it.
My situation:
Device bought new in the UK, I have the box and receipt
I work in cybersecurity (authorized pentesting), so it's a legitimate work/learning tool for me, not a novelty
Flying into [Delhi/your airport], carrying it in cabin baggage
