[Harp-L] Re: carry on bags, airports security, and harp gear question

While I haven't carried this specific gear, I regularly carry other electronic devices on planes with no problem. Of course they want to run it through their usual procedures but again, that's never been a problem.

As long as it doesn't look like it could explode or be used to assault others (knives, screwdrivers, small tools in general) it's unlikely to raise much if any concern.

carry on bags, airports security, and harp gear question

When flying for business I usually bring 7 harps in a vinyl "wallet" in my carry-on backpack and I have never had a problem with TSA or other airport security. However, for an upcoming trip I am considering taking (2) small pedals ( a Kinder AFB and a Harp Attack pedal), a couple of AC power cords, some 9 volt batteries, (2) guitar cables, a short extension cord, and a mic in my carry on bag as well. 

Has anyone else done this and had (or not had) any problems? I would hate to have my gear confiscated.

Thanks List.
