=We've had no problem with large scopes and video cameras, so far. They
have X-rayed & had us turn on cameras and powerbooks. We keep things in
a sleep mode till checked. Always take on board, and leave tripods in
baggage. A lrg. scope looks like a missile in normal baggage! Have more
problems transferring African Grey Parrots on trans -flights, everyone
wants to talk to them!
