Dear Orchid members,

    I just traveled on Sept 27 to Istanbul - Turkey with a luggage full
    of tools, Acetylene - Oxygen torch tips, side cutters and all,
    including a centrifugal casting machine (which was given to me by
    Mr. Gustave Hoefs who was kind enough to let me see his work shop
    and all the beautiful things he had produced, and to whom I owe a
    special thanks for his kindness) from Columbus Ohio.I traveled with
    United Airlines, a shared flight with Lufthansa. 

    What I did was, I put all the tools in a separate ordinary luggage ,
    and told the security officer what it had contained, and told them
    that I could leave the luggage open without a lock, but they said it
    was not necessary because they had keys to open all types of
    luggage's, and after it went through the X-Ray machine, they said
    that every thing was OK., and I received my luggage, without any
    loss, in Turkey. Just for information: we landed and took off at two
    airports one in Chicago, and the other in Frankfurt. 

    Just thought I have an obligation to share my experience with my
    colleagues in case some of you members may want to travel abroad with
    your tools in the future. 

regards,
ekrem.
