I brought a Fujan hammer  through TSA on a trip  From Durango to Juneau this 
summer. They did stop me and ask to see it. I offered to unscrew the components, 
but it was not necessary. Carrying a copy of the PTG Journal helped<G>

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.
