Hello Christoper

I did sme travelling, as you all know in February I flew from Venezuela =
to US and also internaly. I was carying with me the piano tools, They =
will not allow you the piano tools, not only knives, but nothing which =
even resembles it, that includes screwdrivers, files, anything with =
metal which could be used as a weapon, so you should send them by cargo =
also the tuning hammer should go on cargo, when I asked about the tuning =
hammer at the counter they told me that depended on the security =
officer, but with the new regulations, once you got to the boarding =
point if the security officer thinks that can be a weapon you will be =
forced to loose the plane or dispose of the hammer which might be more =
painful,=20

You can check in your etd if you have one, your Laptop provided you can =
switch them on and show them that they are what they look like.=20

  Hi there,

  I have to fly with my tuning tools this week and I want to be sure to=20
  be prepared.  There have been discussions about security on this list=20
  and I have a good idea what to expect but I am interested in getting=20
  any additional advice.

  I will be checking my tool kit of course.  I guess I will remove any=20
  knives or razor blades that may be lurking in there.  I also will be=20
  carrying on my lap top computer.  I understand that they will ask me=20
  to have it on when I go through security.

  Any other advice that any recent travelers can add?  This is a very=20
  important gig I am going to and loosing my kit would be death.  Would=20
  it be possible to carry a spare tuning hammer in my carry on bag?=20
  They would probably think it was some kind of weird weapon.
