This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Del, A digital caliper?! Geez! Did you ever figure out whether that was a "listed" item? By that, I = mean that the taps were actually listed in the drill bit category, which = is verbotten. Are measurement devices placed on a verbotten list too? = Perhaps the problem was that you had an item of unrecognizable = electronics that they thought might be a bo*mb or a remote control of = some sort? Would a dial-type caliper have passed through more easily? I sometimes need to travel with odd tools and/or measurement devices and = would like to know how to avoid these problems in the future. Does = anyone know where we can find an exhaustive list of prohibited items? BTW, back in the late 1980's, I once had to travel overseas with a large = carry-on bag full of electronic equipment, much of it home-built. = Anticipating trouble from security, I remember carrying letters from = department heads, explaining that I needed the equipment for my = research. Do screeners pay attention to letters and/or professional = documentation, these days? The future of aviation should be interesting to watch. First, there was = Southwest Airlines, with stewartesses in hotpants and gogo boots. Now = there's Air Hooters (or whatever they're called). Soon there will be = NudeAir -- 'cuz we may as well be travelin' nude anyway. ;-) Peace, Sarah ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
