Geoffrey, Ken, The idea of carrying a published description is of course a brilliant one. (Assuming that all these people know how and are willing to read:-) > Once the scanner operatives > were convinced that it was not a bomb, they quickly lost interest. But how do you convince them that this is not a bomb if it looks like a bomb, and has wires (even if you check the batteries in the check in luggage separately), and a ticking mechanism inside:-) Besides that, they are not only interested in bombs. (Once I had nail clippers seized; little scisors, 2 inches long blades). And even a nautical sextant makes a perfect weapon: you can easily crush someone's scull using it, I mean a sextant with a bronze frame, not a plascic one:-) Alex.
