Re: [Harp-L] Harmonicas and Airport Security...

Keep them on you.  It's rare these days that a screener doesn't peg  
them as harmonicas right off the bat.  It's usually trainees that get  
fooled.  I was told by a guy at LAX, that they look very similar to  
gun clips to the untrained eye, but once you've seen them a few  
times, it becomes pretty obvious what they are.

That being said, you can still expect your case to be searched  
occasionally, which is no big deal.
