I had a GMC-300 series counter in my hand luggage and used it in the cabin on a long distance flight Germany to Maldives. The results are published as part of GeigerLog.

Nobody cared; but I am also not sure that anyone had seen it either at check in or in the cabin.

Does anyone know what the X-ray picture of a glass-housing M4011 is?

Years ago I carried a kit type detector with just an LED and a speaker on several flights. The home-made enclosure made it look suspicious. I caught worried looks from a seat-mate once, so I made it a habit to talk about the topic before pulling it out if I thought they might get scared. One time I was in a hurry through arrival security in Japan and got some stern looks about it. Through the language barrier I used mainly hand motions to convey that it can measure x-rays, and to listen for the clicks as it went through. Once demonstrated, the security official called over all nearby inspectors to see it; thankfully they were more interested than suspicious by then, and sent me on my way.

I found this interesting story about traveling with a Geiger counter: https://sites.google.com/site/diygeigercounter/traveling-with-the-geiger
It has to be noted that the Geiger was home made, and hence the suspicions. I suppose that our neat and tidy GMC-XXX devices should be treated like any other electronic device. The only concern that I have is about the following sentence in the story: "The SBM-20 (geiger tube) particularly resembles a detonator. Not much you can do about that." If they can see that in the X-ray scanning inside your hand luggage, maybe it depends on the mood/decision of the security guy on how to proceed.

Could you comment on your experiences when travelling with the Geiger counter in the airplane cabin?

Thanks!

yes. No problem at all.
