Charles, I started the thread you are asking about. My flights went without a hitch, even with several plane changes. I have a nice briefcase style kit with locking clasps. I locked my tool kit and checked it as baggage. They didn't care much about it at all but they went through my carry on in a big way. I had a tiny pair of hair trimming scissors in my carry on bag. They took that and all but strip searched me but the tool kit never had a problem. Nobody even asked me to open it for inspection. The damn thing weighs fifty pounds and is full of metal tools, probably lit up their x-ray like a Christmas tree, but they were too concerned about what I might have on the back of my belt buckle. Go figure. chris -- Christopher D. Purdy R.P.T. School of Music, Ohio University Athens, Ohio 45701 (740) 593-1656 fax (740) 593-1429 purdy@ohiou.edu
