Jack Norflus Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 This had to be a sound bag. http://m.hollywoodreporter.com/entry/view/id/659010?utm_source=twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Just shows how uneducated the TSA, and airline workers are when it comes to what we do. I prefer to ship my gear whenever possible. Really? You can't expect them to know about every niche business & it's tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've found that the TSA is much better now than when they were formed. There seems to be a better program in place for proper training. Looking at it from the other side of the coin, if a passenger complained to a flight attendant about a "suspicious bag with wires coming out of it" wouldn't they be slack in their duties if they didn't investigate prior to takeoff? Several years ago I did some traveling gigs carrying on my entire kit -- camera bag with mixer and the remainder of the gear shared space with my clothes in a (just barely) carry-on sized suitcase. Airports that had more exposure to media (Las Vegas, LA) seemed to know what things were, whereas, some other airports took a bit more time to explore, but patience and politeness helped things go smoothly.

Eric Toline Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Eric, its LAX. The center of the Reality Tv World where hundreds of crews fly in and out of there on a daily basis. I could understand if it was bum f*** Kansas. I guess "never expect how things will go based on past performance" should not be carved in stone. This was not a TSA situation, it was a passenger on the plane who was concerned about seeing wires sticking out of a bag and notified the authorities.

atheisticmystic Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I travelled across the US for four months recently carrying my Petrol loaded with 633, 411s, SRb, and SMa. We would sometimes shoot soon after arrival so I didnt want to be re-rigging my entire kit. I left connections unplugged and antennae off, but the bag basically wired up. TSA was a crap shoot, sometimes they'd stop me and swab the kit, sometimes they'd just ask me about it (talking about "the show" would sometimes charm them), and on two occasions, I spent a lot of time waiting while the entire chain of command consulted their literature about whether I could board with the big lithiums (which you can). Overall, they were cool. I have no complaints. Its just the time we're living in. best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
