Tools On Airlines

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Joel,
           Most airport security personnel are very vigilant so allow a lot
of time. I travel frequently with a very heavy lool kit. both Air Canada
and North West have requested that I check it as baggage. Since the tool
box is padlocked I have it inspected and tape as being inspected prior to
checking, it saves a lot of hassels.  Weight is 40lbs and they tape a strip
over it, Heavy Load Get help.
