RE: [Harp-L] This ever happen to travelling harp players?

- 9mm clip?
- case full of Swiss army knifes?

Geez, I must have been very lucky last summer to find
such a well trained (could identify my harmonicas on the X-ray)
and friendly security officer at Heathrow.

Newark doesn't have a good reputation in terms of friendliness anyway
but this is another issue. Because for us it is the destination to go
(my wife is from NJ) I will handle it the same way as Garry suggests:
Display my harmonicas open on the conveyor belt.
