Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] driving into STL airport on Friday afternoon...

Tell them it's a musical instrument and they HAVE to let it on. *grin*

All my musical lists, Uilleann Pipes, Mandolin, Woodenflute, Hammered 
Dulcimer, Blugrass, Ir-Trad, have a discussion about traveling with 
instruments about once every two months ( you think the topic would be 
discussed to death by then).

Basically it boils down to a lot of quoting of TSA regs and the fact 
that they have to let you take a valued musical instrument into the 
climate/environmentally controlled area.

Just don't try to take an electronic Great Highland Bagpipes practice 
chanter in a homemade pvc tube carrying case on.  That's strictly a no-no.
