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

[Mike Wilbur <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Funny you mention that David, last summer on a fight from Key West to Cleveland I had the local TSA guys ask me to open my Roll- On because they were worried about my Magazine
Of Suzuki's.....7 in a zip up Horner Case.

The question was " why would you need more than one harmonica ?"

That was the only time I've been asked, even when I had double that in the carry on.
