Re: [Harp-L] Harmonicas and Air Travel

My advice is, Take the train!  I fly only when I have to, and I'm lucky 
to live where there's regular train service. If we had decent public 
rail transportation, like every other developed country in the world, 
musicians would never have to worry about traveling with our 
instruments.  I did have to fly a few months ago, though, and I was 
impressed when one of the TSA workers X-raying my carry-on bag stopped 
her colleague from detaining me and asked me, "Sir, do you have 
harmonicas in here?" Lucky she was there, or I'd probably have missed my 
flight.

Yours for intelligent public transportation,
