jlyons 0 #1 December 13, 2003 I am going to be traveling with my rig for the first time as a carry-on for a flight and will be traveling with it extensively for about four months. All of you out there that have traveled with your rigs before, does it cause problems? I have read the FAA document and know that it is fine legally, but do you still get harassed sometimes? I am just wondering if it is common to have to unpack your main? I know they can legally ask you to unpack your reserve as long as they escort you to a private place in which you can unpack it...but does this happen frequently? I am under the impression that it does not, but I would like to know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbattman 0 #5 December 14, 2003 Long story short: Keep it in a bag (out of sight, out of mind) Keep your mouth closed at the checkpoint until they say something to you about your rig. There's a very good chance that they will not ask any questions at all. No problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
