I've had to do a little explaining now and then, but I've never had a real problem. A colleague of mine once mentioned that she carries a copy of Bruce Bauer's Sextant Handbook when she flies, so she could show pictures and explanations to befuddled security guards. I don't know how much she's had to rely on that, though.
