You're travelling sept 8th? I'd consider buying a Pelican case a few days before you travel if the ban is not lifted - you'll have to check *everything* photographic. Sad but true, and necessary.
-- Cheers, Cotty ----- That's a possibility. Trouble is, I would have to ship it unlocked. I am more concerned about theft than inadvertent damage. Last year German air travel security sawed a suitcase of mine in such a way that it cannot be locked again. It had a U.S. Transportation Security Administration-approved lock on it. Surely The German security types have keys to these. If not, they could have sawed the lock. Instead they sawed the suitcase and stole the lock. Arrogant is the term that comes to mind. The main problem is theft. I am committed to the conference in Italy and have to go. Beyond that, I have committed to a conference in Israel that was supposed to take place in November, but is now postponed until spring. If I can't photograph on those trips, with my equipment safe, I may just give up overseas travel. Photography is too big a part of it for me.
