#172559 - the plane, boss

But the main thing then is battery-operated and easy to bring in the carry-on luggage on the plane.

Given the level of technical expertise of the security staff at airports, I have my doubts whether this is really a good idea. (And these things will probably "disappear" if they're in your checked luggage. :( )


I flew back and forth about a half-dozen times last year with a Pelican case full of microphones. This case was ALWAYS selected for extra special inspection.

Most of the inspectors have never seen a microphone that does not look like the standard SM58. A couple asked, "Are you a recording guy?" Only one asked what band I was working for.

The Pelican also has a couple of rolls of gaffer tape. Because I can subdue a terrorist with a roll of gaff tape. No shit!
