[IBC] Carry on luggage (bonsai) Methods ?
The screener asked me to remove my barrette prior to the screen and I was happy to oblige.
I did make sure the tree had no metal (screen material and wires) and packed it in a clear plastic pop bottle. I had no problems what so ever. I'd rather have the screening then not. -- (`'·.¸(`'·.¸*¤*¸.·'´)¸.·'´) «´¨`·.¤*katie**¤.·´¨`» (¸.·'´(¸.·'´*¤*`'·.¸)`'·.¸) Helena's Sim Estates http://www.simbella.com/helena/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HelenaSimEstates/ They let the tree through but wouldn't let me wear my barrette. That's because you were walking through a metal detector. Unlike the barrette, the tree was not made of metal. No offense to anyone on this list, but it really seems like people are making a bigger deal out of airport security than the reality warrants. It's pretty simple. Don't put the following in your carry on bags: sharp things, things that go boom, things that ignite. If you don't divest the metal in your pockets, in your hair or on your shoes, you alarm the metal detector and need to be searched. Unless you are sent down for secondary screening (hand held metal detector) the security people have no way of telling if it alarmed due to a barrette or a 10" knife. It's just a metal detector, people, not a good person/bad person detector. The x-ray machine will not hurt your tree - it is about 1/20 the power of a medical x-ray and is not nuclear. After 9/11/2001 we live in a different world and need to understand this and stop acting so spoiled. If the security screener asks you to take off your shoes, it doesn't make him a nazi, it keeps you safe. If that's the worst thing that happens to you that day, well folks, that's a pretty good day! My two cents. Best Regards, Daniel Avrin Now with super whitening Borax! |
