There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and magnetic wands  (hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can send your Transformer through airport X-ray machines. But do not send your Transformer through airport magnetic detectors or expose it to magnetic wands.
Airplane Precautions
Ask an airline personnel if you want to use your Transformer onboard an aircraft. Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs and landings.
Charging Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the Transformer is in use.
Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before first use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The battery reaches its maximum capacity after a few full charging and discharging cycles.
