just swap em! - Oooops!
Since 9/11, I have had to travel too many times for business.
Pack up the tool kit, get to the airport in plenty of time only to have some
rent-a-cop
decide that I was a "danger" to national security, and try to confiscate
some
very very expensive tooling. There was another incident with a 5 pound slab
of bacon being thought of as C-4, but that's another story :>)
I no longer bring anything to the airport except myself, my wallet and
tickets,
and whatever I happen to be reading.
The rest gets sent on ahead FEDEX.
They have NEVER lost any of my packages.
The package ALWAYS arrives when they say it will (usually before I do.)
The cost, while not reasonable, is a "cost of doing business", and I've
adjusted prices to suit.
Never allow a rent-a-cop to challenge you on your tools. They don't care,
they don't have to,
and chances are they are never going to see you again.
