Hello Mike,


Now I am going to have to figure out which tools they still let you
take on board. Calling the airline won't help because they won't have
the foggiest idea what I am talking about when I say FET probe, and I
don't want to give up $2k worth of gear at security.


Maybe ship it UPS next day delivery to avoid the hassle and risk?


Too late for that :-(


Buta that's a good question. Please let us know how you manage to get it
through security.


I'll see what we have or can get locally. I don't want to have $$$ of
stuff confiscated and thrown into that big barrel.


You would think that UPS or Fedex would have set up booths at
airports to handle forwarding for travelers by now.

You just have to plan ahead.

When my wife and I have an extended trip back East we ship our clothes
ahead to our hotel by UPS, then likewise ship the dirty clothes back.

It's much cheaper than excess baggage fees, plus you don't have to
struggle through airports with lots of baggage.

For the left coast, we just drive... takes less time to drive than fly
PHX to ONT.


The last time I was on a plane was over 32 years ago. How is that for
planning ahead? ;-)


I avoid flying myself. Sunday, to Atlanta, will be my first flight
since September, 2005.


Wow. How did you get to the client meeting in Colorado? Did you drive all that? I mean, it's a very scenic drive but still...

Anyhow, be prepared for even tougher "new rules". No more than 3oz water bottles, toothpaste might be considered dangerous goods etc. One can live with all that but it does get old after a while. And expensive because now you have to buy stuff behind the checkpoint at a few hundred percent markup. And I liked those sandwiches with thin slices of roast that I barbequed myself :-(
