[ ... snipped ... ]


I'm working on GMLTC containers now.  I should be able to bring 25 of them • to
BrickFest, I can't wait to see how much Lego stuff I end up packing and
carrying!  (Does Lego show up on airport x-rays??  *grin*)


[ ... snipped ... ]

Yes it does.  As someone who personally spent almost an hour with the fine
TSA folks at the San Diego airport this past January I can state
emphatically that LEGO, particularly if it is loose bricks packed densely,
will look very odd (as in one big blob) going through the x-ray machine.

The fine TSA folks actually opened up several of my boxes before they were
certain that when  said I was packing LEGO bricks I was really packing LEGO
bricks.  YMMV but I'd alot some extra time when you fly.  I fly a lot and
typically allow myself the absolute minimum amount of time for security but
in this case, I thought I might have a problem so I headed to the airport
early.  I am glad I did, I needed it!

On the other hand, I have not packed unbuilt bricks. I think anything large and dense will (...) (21 years ago, 1-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org)
