Airlines security and carry on rebreather

kkcheo · 21st October 2006, 08:23

Hi all

I was wondering that with the increased security at airports and hand luggage on planes for obvious reasons, does any of you who travel extensively have any problems with carrying on CCR's like the Meg or Kiss as hand luggage?

Thanks

A quick search is always worthwhile on RBW, since theres a lot of stuff thats been covered before. I found;

Asia is the easiest place to smuggle a rebreather around, just walk tall and pretend it does not weigh much

Alternatively you can use the "what hump" line....

I thought it was increased harassment and stupidity at airlines......they for sure aren't any more secure.....

I just got back from Malaysia with my SK. I broke it down and put it in my checked luggage and locked the luggage. No problem. I put the case in one bag with tools in it and everything else in the other. At LAX all they were interested in was finding out what this case was. I also took three bottles with me in my checked luggage.

In my carryon I had my can light, five regulators and my computers. This included some of the more delicate plumbing from the SK. It was no problem in security. They looked at it and said okay.
