It has definitely been a non-issue Sal. But sooner or later some
inspector who's been bawled out by a supervisor for not checking
thoroughly enough is going to turn a Leica M with winder over and ask,
"what's this?" And when that nice, sharp, tapered advance lever pops
out, it's going to be "goodbye, Sal" - or B. D., or Ted, or which ever
of us has the bad luck.
Ridiculous, yes? Sad reality? Probably.

Subject: [Leica] Re; Flying with a Rapid Winder
Luggers,
Reading all the posts about traveling with Leicavits or Rapidwinder,
I can not help remember what William Shakespeare said hundreds of years
before the Leica weas event invented..... "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING!"
Listen to Ted Grant. Think!
You are imagining problems where there are none. The new TSA people
seem to be well trained, polite, understanding, reasonable and
intelligent.
Generally, I carry three Leicavited M6s with me on an airplane and I
generally have to have my bag hand checked because its pack so tightly,
they can't tell what inside, and not one has ever noticed the Leicavits.
It is a non-issue.
Happy Snaps,
Sal
