Well, I've decided to go ahead and take it with me, I mean really why buy something to just sit on my shelf and look pretty?
I've taken hawkbatsquadron's advice on the case, timeware's advice on contacting the TSA via email (they only seemed to focus on batteries for some reason, guess they don't care and the x ray can tell the difference between simple electronics and things that can't fly), and am putting the trap/pke meter/ the pedal 11 pin relay in the case with a big screenshot from the movie and a letter underneath explaining that its an expensive/hard to replace movie prop, with my contact information, in a checked bag (along with some other stuff that I'm sure they are going to go through). In my carry on I have the pedal/hose in with some radio stuff, so that's 100% going to be gone through.
I'm sure it will all go over well, and I'll be sure to report back with how it went in approximately 16 hours, so that if things work out others can feel assured, and if not, a valuable lesson will be learned.
