Summary: Just another comment (hand search)


I am real partial to wrapping stuff in lead foil if its going 
into the cargo hold.

For carry on a request for hand search generally works.

although I did have one "vaseline for brains" at DC national
try to take everything apart, and then started on the camera stuff.


WARNING: when you get tired of them looking in at around and over,
and when one of them (the inspectors) holds up something
obvious (telephoto lens, printer cable, whatever) and asks
"duhhhh whats this" under no circumstances get cute and say "atom bomb".

Voice of experience.

Just answer the dumb question and soon you and your computer
will be happily on your way.
