travel with tools

[Willem Blees]

I have flow a couple of times to a neighboring island. The airlines won't allow tools of any kind as a carry on, especially anything that could be used to pry, poke, or do damage with. (screwdrivers, knives, regulating tool,s and of course the tuning hammer). She will have to check her tool bag. I realize there is a problem with it getting lost, but unfortunately, that's the chance we have to take. So far I've been very fortunate. But then, when the plane is going non stop for 50 miles in 30 minutes, where else can the bag go?

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.

?

So, if anyone can fill me in, I'll forward the info on to her.? And when she passes (and therefore ascends to RPTdom), I will let y'all know about that, too!

?

Thanks on her behalf.
