MrHixxx 0 #3 July 11, 2003 The problem with this in the U.S. is the TSA will destroy it when inspecting baggage. I've already heard of them snapping locks off of luggage... -Hixxxdeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 36 #4 July 11, 2003 I think you'd be better off with a padlocked or zip tied gear bag. You could still tamper with a rig through the mesh. The goal is tamper evidence, not theift deterence. TerryI'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowflake 0 #6 July 11, 2003 When I fly my rig stays on my back until it goes in the overhead comparment. Not that I'm paranoid or anything I just don't trust anyone especially the baggage monkeys. Sure will make it a bitch when I get my second rig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
