[pianotech] Fujan hammer vs. TSA?

[Paul T Williams]

I've just checked in a small tool kit in my luggage when going to Steinway 
or wherever )insured)  What might be wrong with this. I'll never try to 
carry on anything. If it's lost in luggage land, of course, I'm screwed, 
but then would get all brand new tools. I always have another set of stuff 
in the university shop for this very reason.

No real experience trying to fake out the TSA, but sending it ahead via 
FedEx (or other carriers' equivalents) is a good way to avoid needless 
headaches.

Has anyone had any experience with getting the Fujan
tuning hammer through airport security?  I'm wondering
if the carbon fiber composite handle gets picked up by
the security x-ray machines. I'd like to be able to put it in
my carry-on bag, not check it.  Several years ago, my old
one with the steel shaft wasn't allowed in my carry-on bag,
and I had to run back to the ticket counter to check it
instead.
