Thanks again for everyone's response. I figured I'd share my experience to wrap this thread up.

I had absolutely no issue with security. I put the OUYA, a controller, and my Kindle Fire all in my carry on bag, and sent them all through Xray without pulling any of them out. No questions were asked or concern shown.

Now, when I was at the hotel, the bloody thing was programmed to block the HDMI channel. (Phillips TV, just FYI). If you're in the same situation I was in, the work around was to press the Function button, and change the input. The Trick to the execution, is to keep pressing buttons on the controller to "overwhelm" the TV. In my specific case, I had to press the right/left arrow keys rapidly to get the tv to go to HDMI. Once at that channel, I kept pressing up/down arrows for a little so that the TV is too busy to redirect.

So, fly safe my fellow travelers, and remember to Game On!

That is incredibly dumb, but I'm glad to hear you were able to find a work around!

Dra6onfire: Perhaps you should consider traveling with a plastic slinky in the future.
