Thanks miniMe,

There are several things that I did not think of, like the evac hood. Good idea. I read throught the other posts and found them quite interesting. I have no intention of trying to get things past anyone. Where I'm going, I will be going through several check-points and in different countries. Like I mentioned, I want to be prepared, but I don't want to look paranoid. I haven't done my research yet on how long it takes to fly over the Atlantic Ocean yet, but that is the biggest body of water that I will be going over. I also do not know my route of travel, exactly which airports and such, that will be given to me when my deployment date gets closer. I just started to think of worst case scenarios and survival along the way.
