[Woodcarver] Airplane travel

[Marcia Berkall]

When I check my luggage, I tell the agent that I have carving tools in the 
bag and would like to watch while it is inspected if that is possible. 
Whether or not they will let you do that depends on the airport, but I did 
watch the inspection and lock the bag at O'Hare.   I also have a TSA 
approved lock that indicates if the lock has been opened.  It's certainly 
not fool-proof, but it helps.
