Consequence of shifting carry-on luggage to checked luggage for aircraft weight
Indiana has decent gun laws, just get a hotel brochure.

If they want to open it, they have to find you and get you to unlock it... If they can't find you, your bag might not make it on the flight though... Personally, I stand by the x-ray machine and wait for them to allow it to go through... If they have a problem with it, I'm there to unlock it... |

wrote: Too bad a lot of my commercial flights are into ORD. I thought you'd found a way for the TSA to stop stealing my suff. So they're into ORD, what's the big deal? You put a set of grips or grip screws into your luggage, declare it as a firearm, and go wherever you want... Even if it is some ****ed up location where they have anti-2nd-Amendment laws, you're cool since the local laws are very explicit about what is a firearm and a pair of grips or grip screws are not classified by such by any locality by any stretch of their imagination... Only the TSA is so ****ed up that they can't decide what minimally constitutes a firearm... The thing is, what *really* constitutes a firearm? A receiver is often useless without a barrel... A barrel is no more than a fancy piece of pipe... What about a bang stick? With it, you have little more than a very short barrel and a fixed firing pin on a cap... For a revolver, the frame doesn't do much good without the cylinder... And if all you had was a cylinder, you would be hard pressed to utilize it as a firearm... Well, you probably *could*, but a short piece of pipe would probably work better... When I'm carrying in my luggage, I put my firearm in a locked plastic case and then I also lock the luggage that the plastic case is put into... |

Well, it is uncommon in central Europe that you keep your prescription (it goes to the insurance for reimbursment), and nobody writes the name on the medicament (hell, everybody can write his name on his medicaments). travel by train might become more interesting here in central Europe. distances are relative short, total time is similar, train has more comfort. #m [1] if you use public means of communication then all your data is well known by the US and British intelligence, so there is no real need for encryption ... -- Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages.

You're kinky, Emily... it is good to be kinky :-() AFAIK you are only reimbursed a certain amount of money per kilo of luggage when lost. In the US, it's a flat rate of $2800. That doesn't cover my laptop AND clothes, etc. Internationally, it's per weight, which still doesn't cover it. Other point: there has to be the name on the prescription or on the meds - matching your name on the ticket. Well, it is uncommon in central Europe that you keep your prescription (it goes to the insurance for reimbursment) Here, too. The pharmacy keeps the prescription. I wonder if anyone even thinks of this stuff. |

How do you "stand by" the X-ray machine with check baggage?
If you claim it has a firearm locked inside it must be checked baggage.

Honest citizens can't carry a firearm in Chicago. The gang
bangers have no problem. Illinois is totally screwed up, not just the gun laws either.
