I was at the JB terminal, my uniform is black not blue, so they knew I was a commuter. But I went thru the same checkpoint many times after that, and like the last 2 years no problem.

TSA the biggest bunch of morons on the planet. Until they start monitoring themselves for criminal behavior and some consistency. They have and will always be idiots.
Unfortunately when dealing with morons, prepare for the worse and hope for the best when it comes to dealing with them...

CRT's yes. remember how they told us not to sit right in front the (old CRT) TV when we were kids? They were right...thoise things leak low-level x-rays. The older the design, the more likely it is to be a hazard. If you gotta fly an old plane, pick one with steam gauges 
Antennas should be sufficiently attenuated by the hull. The radar is the freq you need to worry about, hopefully there's not much of a back lobe getting through.
TRU's (and all the onboard electrical powers systems) are far too low frequency and voltage to be a hazard in the known dielectrical-thermal realm. If you want to be concerned with non-thermal health risks...well that borders on tin-foil hat paranoia (in which case the tin-foil hat might help).
Buzzing around in the flight levels for decades will give you a small, barely measurable but nonetheless real increase in cancer risk. If you can avoid big solar flare days, do so.

What difference does it make if your shampoo is 3.3 ounces or 3.4 ounces? They're mindless drones who only follow rules. The problem is that there's no standardized rule book, so they all make it up as they go.
