Storing your Arduino?

Most electronic devices are X-ray safe, so airport security shouldn't be an issue...

Anyway, small electronic boards like Arduino are pretty rugged in nature. As long as you don't

  1. Power it on while it's on a metal surface (or anywhere that might cause a short circuit)
  2. Bend/knock it too hard (watch out those surface mounted components!)
  3. Immerse it in water for prolonged period of time

The board should be able to just handle it fine. I wouldn't worry too much about static electricity as the parts are already mounted on the board and all the high impedance pins are already connected..
