Traveling with a Hook Knife?

Recommended Posts

there are many threads here about that.
but basically...
shouldn't be any problem with the rig itself, but you'd want to put the hook knife in the bag you check in and not in your carry on.
i'd take the rig onboard, and put everything else (knife, helmet, alti...) in my suitcase

you may get away with it, but with the new homeland security system just in place i can tell you from personal experience having traveled through many airports, stateside, and abroad your check in to cargo bay goes through x-ray, and they will see it, so be prepared to either lose it, or explain for at least one hour to a bunch of imbiciles why you are in possession of it. there are signs that clearly state "no knives or sharp instruments past this point", at least 5 of them on the way to the counter, this refers to check in, as well as carry on baggage. just lately, i observed security searching a man's suitcase after x-ray because he had a personal nail clipper/filing kit in it, they took it away from him right then and there, he put up a good arguement, but in the end they still had his property. airline security is getting tough. today, in kenya south africa, a 757 400 series passenger jet was taking off and was fired upon by two SAMS, shortly after that, four imbiciles with some C-4 drove into a hotel and detonated their deadly cargo, blew the whole place to smitheriens, no body count as of yet. the passenger jet was escorted back to the airport by military aircraft and landed without further incident. and of course it was al-queda.

Interested readers might want to read an article published by Salon magazine, outlining exactly what the airlines think of the risk of being hit by a SAM over LAX.

Hint, they're scared shitless:

not sure it belongs here (a hook knife on board wouldn't have mattered)
but here are a few more details:
-the 757 wasn't hit (talk about luck) but they've felt it.
-after checking that everything is working, the flight continued to its original destination and landed safely.
-in the hotel blast there were about 15 dead and 80 wounded.:(
-al-queda ? still under investigation but it wouldn't surprise anyone if they've had something to do with it.
