Bob Denton wrote "From my experience in flying around the world, occasionally questionable items, is to put the gear in the hold! Use a samsonite suitcase with a cable and lock and your gear will rarely be searched on arrival as well. A beat up suitcase is cheaper then a stove. I would remove all fuel from the stove and bottles and allow any excess to evaporate before packing. " Wow! I can't believe anyone would advocate breaking safety regulations after the series of airliner crashes we have experienced lately. When I fly I hope the staff are knowledgeable about all safety precautions and enforce them to the letter. Paranoia? No, I just wouldn't trust the average person to be sufficiently knowledgeable about handling hazardous materials to make them adequately safe. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Dec 17 1998 - 06:39:43 PST
