Hello everyone, Ok so I fly to Maui tomorrow. I am packed but I'm worried about my travel humi. It's a small alluminum 10 cap. box with the hygrometer dial on the outside. I am afraid that if they x-ray the bag they may think they see a bomb-looking-like-deal. Do you think I should put it in my carry-on or just leave it in the checked bag? Please help! :shock:
 
Being small anyway it would give you peace of mind to have it in the carry on. If they question it they will just open your carry on to take a peek. I will tell you one thing about airport security....DON'T fly wearing jeans with a button up fly!!! It will create a most uncomfortable situation. One thing you NEVER want to hear are words Male assistance yelled across the terminal. Bad things happen after that.
 
Motion, that's the only reason I wear button flys to the airport. :oops:

Why can't you put your travel humi in your check-in bags? My dad stowed his humi with his check-in bags on the way back to Honolulu (Oahu).

On the way here, TSA opened 1 bag containing frozen goods for me. I guess the frozen Lau-lau's and Portuguese sausages looked suspicious in their x-rays.
 
I get stopped in the airports more than anyone I know. I am musician, and my instrument is Tuba, I always keep my mouthpiece and metronome in my carry on, and sometimes my tuning slide is in my carry on too, now that stuff looks suspicious under x-ray.... I can always predict their reactions, step by step!

I have flown almost 30 times in the past year and have yet to have any major problem, I have flown with my cigars too. You'll be fine.

Also, a friend of mine is a director of TSA at Tampa Inter. Airport, he told me I can even take my cutter on board now.

Good Luck
 
Foodislfe,
put it in your carry on!
Let's face it, you are going to Hawaii. If someone "accidentally" misplaces your gear, you will be aggravated and edgy, right?
So, ta-daaa! You pull out your travel humi, select a fine stick, and smoke up while relaxing in the tranquility of paradise....


While the mouth-breathers find out where you G.D. luggage is!!!!
