Should've asked if anybody played it. ;)
 
Might've needed a wipe down since some folks don't comprehend  that you 
can't just play another person's personal harmonica.
 
I thought it was funny and cool to have Edward refer to it as a  
'Radical-B'. It certainly is! - although the correct name is  B-Radical. I imagine 
Brad would get a huge kick out of it being referred to that  way.
 
I must appear harmless because mine was in its pouch in my pocketbook  
(carried on the plane), along with two cx-12's in the quilted eyeglass  cases I 
use for them. I do notify the Agents ahead of time about my  separate 
harp-case by calling out 'case of harmonicas coming through'  (always with a 
smile) and have never had a problem. Forewarning is the key,  methinks.
 
I've now been notified my 2nd B-Rad is being engraved and will be in my  
hands anon, so am a very happy (and patient) camper. Thanks for all the hard  
work, Brad, David et al. The B-Rad is truly THE most beautiful piece of art 
in a  diatonic harmonica I've ever seen...and it plays equally as well.

I just sent that neat little tidbit to Brad.  That was his idea all  along 
to 
make something that didn't look like a normal harmonica. I know  he'll love 
the 
fact that the TSA thinks he did.

When I flew from  Chicago to W.Va. last summer, I had a B-radical C, but it 
was 
in my pocket,  so it went through in the tray with my wallet, pocket watch 
and 
stuff. It  was in a cloth pouch. I remember it was a while before they got 
that 
tray  back to me, I was about finished putting my boots on when they did. 
Maybe  
they did take it out and give it a close look.
