I had occasion recently to travel cross country via airplane to attend an ARMA event. This was my first time not simply driving my gear to my destination. I learned a few things.
1. You can travel with wasters and blunts as long as they are checked baggage.
2. You can fit 100 pounds of armour and gear into three normal-sized suitcases <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
3. You can count on being interogated by the friendly TSA agents if you are carrying what appear to be body-parts and swords simultaneously in your luggage.
4. You can count on having your things riffled through once you walk away and being left a "we were here" card from the agents mentioned above that you will discover upon arrival at your destination.
5. You must be ready to accept the fact that your wasters may be broken when you finally get them in your possession again(mine certainly were it seems).
As stated above, the pommels on both of the wasters in my case were literally separating from the hilts when I took them out for the event in question. They worked fine until they took the plane ride...Now they are destroyed(Maybe threaded rods and epoxied fasteners look like contraband on X-ray machines?),
Have you ever suffered such horrors at the hands of the airlines? Is this an isolated incident perhaps?
