<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Annie,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have traveled many times with tools and have
never had a problem. Its my practice to put my tool bag in a suitcase that
I check. I have only had one instance where that bag was searched.
They put a note in to let you know (as if you could not tell)... For the
times where I have just checked my kit out side of a suitcase they always have
searched it. That is the reason that I put the kit in a peace of
luggage. Its not that I mind them going through it, they just don't put
things back from where they came from... Tell your friend good luck from
us all, and to not stress about the tools! Stressing about the exams is
bad enough!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=515252900-16102007><FONT face=Tahoma>An Associate member who
wishes to remain anonymous (not me!) will be going to the seminar in Atlanta
this month and taking the tuning exam while there. She called to ask me
what I knew about flying with tuning tools and I offered to post this for
her after not finding much by searching the archives.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
