did I just have a packing epiphany?
:confused:
OK, for you golfers out there. Most US carriers allow a free third bag if it is a golf bag. Is that the same on international flights??? If so, why not get a golf bag to pack extra dive/photo/clothes equip. in? It is not like TSA could give a crap about what is really in there. put a couple of cheap putters in andtruthfully say, "yup, those are my clubs".
WHY NOT????:D
Underwater Housing and TSA
On a dive trip last year I brought my Equinox underwater housing with for my Sony PD170. The TSA Freaked at the case when they went to pick it up with the slab of lead that is in the case. They were not too concerned about what was IN the case in Minneapolis an even told me to lock the case before putting it through the scanner since I was standing right there with the key to open it.
On the other hand coming back from Fort Myers, they have a behind the scenes inspection process and they cut the lock off and searched the gear. As much as I have traveled around it all depends on which airport you go to, what time of day, and who is working. If someone is being a dick and having a bad day then who knows what could happen to your gear.
