Hi Pam,

    What I do is pack all my tools in a clear plastic box. I tape a list
    of the tools (either the list for a workshop or my own list)to the
    inside of the box. The list is clearly visible to the TSA folks. I
    write a note (in red ink) on the list telling TSA that I'm going to a
    workshop and this is my tool list. I've even included my cell # so
    they can call me! The tool list is an obvious copy. I keep another
    copy in my purse in case there are any questions. Either tape the
    case shut or use a big rubber band. 

    Knock on wood, I've never had anything stolen (not even silver
    sheet)! The last workshop, however, the TSA folks must have dropped
    the box b/c it was a bit split on a corner. Easier to replace the box
    than the tools! 

Good luck!
Patricia Tschetter
