Re: Flying with a guitar... or not
Well, back in the USA finally, and the laptop to be the nerve center of the
rack unit is gotten.
The trip was not without incident! I had to put the Strat through special
handling because the ramps on Virgin Atlantic couldn't handle the length.
When I got to Orlando, went to special handling to pick up Cthulhu, and the
poor fella had taken a header out of the cargo bay, 30 feet or more onto the
tarmac! Case shattered on the corner, dire fears as to the guitar's state.
He's okay! Went to a guitar repair specialist in Jacksonville, and there
was nothing wrong. Virgin Atlantic's buying me a new case. Grrr. Scary
for a day or so though.

one time I put a note inside my pedalboard case that said "there is no

I got a note back that said "that's what you think !!!"
though nothing was missing from the case.... weird TSA people
Lol! But isn't it quite common to use "carrier agents" that doesn't
know they are used as a carrier? Someone hiding something inside an
innocent person's luggage to have it transported with minimal risk
taking (for the criminal).
