<<A problem with all of the above is that this whole line of thinking is an attempt to circumvent the rules and if detected prior to use will cause you much trouble.>><br><br>Your observations are interesting and useful; I'm glad you suggested some defensive options to consider.<br><br>Still, I wasn't thinking about defeating the next tango aboard a plane - I think he'd find himself overwhelmed by the entire planeload of men, women and toddlers these days. As the man said, "Let's roll!"<br><br>I was more concerned with transporting valuable tools from point A to point B without breaking the rules, being detained at an airport or having said tools confiscated (carry-on bags) or lost forever (checked bags).<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Tim Elliott
